Hubz are general-purpose websites. Every member can create or customise their own personal websites, media collections and/or social spaces, and these can all share and interact.
Hubz all over the internet connect together "magically" to create very large communities and social networks; and these can all share and interact.
Hubz members can securely and privately share anything; with anybody, on any Hubz. Or share stuff publicly with the entire internet if desired.
Hubzilla is open source and built using common webserver technology (PHP/MySQL/Apache, althogh Mariadb or Postgres and Nginx could also be used, we're pretty easy).
Hubz are
decentralised
inherently social
optionally inter-networked with other Hubz
privacy-enabled (privacy exclusions work across the entire internet to any registered identity on any compatible Hubz)
Possible website applications include
decentralised social networking nodes
personal cloud storage
file dropboxes
managing organisational communications and activities
collaboration and community decision-making
small business websites
public and private media/file libraries
blogs
event promotion
feed aggregation and republishing
forums
dating websites
pretty much anything you can do on a traditional blog or community website, but that you could do better if you could easily connect it with other websites or privately share things across website boundaries.
