+
+Tent is a new protocol for open, distributed social networking.
+
+What we believe -- [The Tent Manifesto](/blog/the-tent-manifesto)
+
+### What makes Tent different?
+
+Tent is decentralized, not federated or centralized. Any Tent server can connect
+to any other Tent server. All features are available to any server as
+first-class citizens. Anyone can host their own tent server. Tent servers can
+also be run as Tor hidden services to create a social darknet for at-risk
+organizers and activists. Anyone can write applications that connect to Tent in
+order to display or create user content.
+
+Relationships are between users, independent of their service providers, so
+users take their data and relationships with them when they change Tent service
+providers. Every user decide which other users can follow them and what
+information will be shared with each of their followers.
+
+### You are your memories and relationships
+
+We use social networks to advertise our identities, communicate with friends,
+families, co-workers, customers, and brands. The content we create in the form
+of messages, uploaded media, and social graphs is not only valuable, it has come
+to define each of us. This information, our relationships and our data needs to
+be under our own control. When a user leaves a social service provider for any
+reason, that user should be able to take their relationships, not just a copy of
+their data, with them. Tent lets them.
+
+
+### Planning for the Future
+
+Tent supports extensible formats for post types and profile information. As
+developers' needs change they are free to create new open formats for data
+exchange. Tent is built on HTTPS, JSON and OAuth, each of which handles hundreds
+of millions of transactions online each day. We designed Tent to grow and adapt
+with its users.
+
+
+### The Tent Ecosystem
+
+Tent not specifying the economics of an ecosystem. There will be many options
+for users, from free to paid to self hosted, from ad supported to
+advertising-free, with providers that serve different market segments and
+types of users. Since anyone can set up a Tent server or become a service
+provider, niche needs should quickly be met, based on demand.
+
+There are many spectrums of need:
+
+technically experienced - inexperienced<br>
+rich - poor<br>
+ad tolerant - ad intolerant<br>
+verified - pseudonyms<br>
+public - private<br>
+centralized - distributed<br>
+
+## Next steps
+
+The first Tent server implementation will be available as an open source
+repository very soon. A hosted version for users unwilling or unable to host
+their own will follow quickly.
+
+In the meantime, we encourage anyone developing apps or services supporting Tent
+to add your services to the list in the GitHub repository via pull request. The
+same goes for post-types and profile info-types: a community site will launch
+soon, for now, use pull requests or reach out directly: info@tent.io
+
+More coming soon about the future of Tent.
