MakerBot Industries

Daniel Grippi, Maxwell Salzberg, Raphael Sofaer, and Ilya Zhitomirskiy are four NYU computer science students who bonded over many late nights building a Makerbot at ACM meetings. After being inspired by a talk by Eben Moglen about freedom and ownership online, they started discussing what a distributed social network would look like and started building it.

These guys are building something the internet has needed for years. Check out their kickstarter page and consider supporting their project! These guys show you that when you get a MakerBot, you might just make some good friends and make wonderful things happen!
