The OpenPGP keyserver network has been offering
directory-that-you-look-evidence-up-in-but-don’t-have-to-trust for many
years now.

I'm not convinced that's what is novel about keybase.io, but i do think
it's tricky to put your finger on what exactly keybase.io is offering
that people find appealing.

This makes me think we need to investigate it more critically.
