No, Tin-Can (or is it Tincan or Tin Can...?) doesn't use the Internet, it uses radiowaves/WiFi without going through any actual wires, as far as I can tell. Aether is still using the Internet. And definitely more reddit than hubski, here.

Though to be fair, it's using the hubski-like model that you only broadcast what you upvote. I'm not sure that's a good idea..

(And it looks like there's no space or hyphen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hubski.com...)

Oh, true about the broadcasting, I didn't think of that... but why do you not think that's a good idea?

Just that I don't know enough about how clients discover each other over the network. It seems worrisome that every failure to upvote can cause a story to be lost.
