* <<G1K.0090>> Decentralized social networking, publishing, and so-on
First I saw a link to Matrix, a federation-based communication
system, and thought it was pretty neat.  The usual buzzwords: RESTful
HTTP API with JSON.  Then the Matrix website led me to PSYC and
GNUnet.  Much more interesting.  P2P, multicast, anonymous –
somewhat esoteric, but very interesting.

The PSYC/Secure Share authors make strong cases against federation
and traditional DNS and Web-based communication.

I tried to get GNUnet working, but failed.

The idea of publishing and messaging via peer networks is very
intriguing to me, but... the whole thing is sort-of nebulous in my
mind right now.  Something I need to think on more before I can make
any kind of useful comment in here.
