well the best way to do this would fix the current situation with patent reform...

I think Google simply sucks at anything remotely related to social networking.

I use email to network socially. gMail is a pretty good email client.

Me too, maybe they'll be saved by the "hangouts" and photos features?

Isn't that what they are trying to do with iCloud?

Well then, trolls would start 'hiring' these inventors (maybe as a contractor for just a period of legal battles) and keep pursuing their lucrative business.

I can see that on the top of their list already. Somebody has to fix this problem with less-complicated solution than PGP.

Not seen one myself yet, but $Boss who went to infosec came back impressed and is trying to arrange some for testing.

I'm working on it. :) We hope to have a private alpha start the end of next month.

I am definitely interested in this, do you have any website up yet? Any possible way to get onto that private alpha? ;-)

Website is http://ClickLock.com/. We've pivoted slightly, so some of the details are out of date, but there is a sign-up form at http://clicklock.com/install/ for people wanting an early look.

I'm working through the pivot tech changes, then will update the web site at that point.

I completely agree to this. PayPal somehow has been evading this problem for a decade but finally the government is stepping in to square away this mess. How many horror stories have we heard about PayPal locking up people's accounts for no good reasons?

It's one of my dreams to see it ship and I use it as my primary OS.

Naver in South Korea. Google's been struggling to get its market share for the last few years without much success.

I've been using Terminus on emacs for awhile. Fantastic for programming.
