Friends, #fediverse - ians, lend me your ears 👂

I spoke to a very interesting group of people last week about the prospects for Public Social Media.

I feel I should write a brief essay as followup and I am staring forlornly at my text editor.

How shall I explain to people unfamiliar with the #fediverse why it represents a promising opportunity for their organizations?

Live someplace where hurricanes are a regular occurrence? Give Bostonians #advice!

#NewEngland rarely gets hurricanes; for example, the last time #Maine was under hurricane watch was 2008.

So for those of you who live in places where hurricanes arrive more frequently, what advice do you have for us?
