Dimension for the Social Web
The social web is flat. By focusing solely on individuals' interactions with friends, it neglects the depth inherent in the many facets of our identities and the contextual communities that help us cultivate and strengthen them.
Simply put, we build better conversation channels for communities.
Only when we feel aligned with others in our passions can we transcend our personal identities and strive for one more powerful.
Trivia: "voxle" is a play on the real word "voxel," a volumetric (3D) pixel.
For us, the voxle represents the smallest element of community from which can emerge a united voice.

We believe strongly in communities and the communal mindset: we are better as individuals and as a species when we work together to produce something bigger than ourselves. We theorize about social design and humanity and build systems based on the fundamental principles we uncover and define.
