Matthew Pfefferle blogged, podcasted and wrote about the open, independent and federated social web since 2002. 

At first it was a lot about personal and private matters. In 2005 he started blogging here, with his studies, web technologies and web 2007 being the main topics up until 2.0. 

From 2007 to 2010 he wrote a lot about “decentralized networks” and “data portability" where he has also started to deal more intensively with WordPress.

To this day he posts little to nothing personal, lots of technology, WordPress and even more open web.

I like to fetch on his blog new ideas and also use one or the other of his WP plugins.

  • Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?

    No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
    In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
    The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.

  • I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
    Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.

    • As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.
