When I found out there is a new decentralized ethereum-based social network launched I was immediately interested. I believe, that for blockchain to really reach masses there will need to be a solid gateway every-day application. Crypto currencies offer no-brainer usage as payment system, but some form of communication, be it a social network or chat application, will be really high on this list. Whether Akasha will be the revolution we all want to see, that's yet to be revealed.
In the meantime, let's take a closer look at the name itself: Akasha.
This term was not know to me, so I did some quick googling:
Akasha Sanskrit ākāśa आकाश) is a term for either space or æther in traditional Indian cosmology, depending on the religion. The term has also been adopted in Western occultism and spiritualism in the late 19th century. In Urdu-Hindi, Nepali and Bengali, it means "sky". In many modern Indo-Aryan languages, the corresponding word (often rendered Akash) retains a generic meaning of "sky".

Reading this, I have to say, that authors of Akasha could not have choosen a better name. Good luck to their efforts and see you around.
