 # Big-List-of-ActivityPub
-ActivityPub Projects
+> The Big List of ActivityPub Projects!
+
+*W3 Quote:* "The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content."
+
+*Shlee:* "ActivityPub is the idea of splitting online services into tiny self hosted pieces - Turning privately owned services like twitter into thousands of little twitters, who are able to communicate with each other as you would expect - Giving power and control back to the many."
