JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Personally I think the concept of the federated internet and the work people have done is really interesting. I also think it's important to different people for different reasons. Probably for most people, myself included, there's not much practical use there that makes it worth the "effort," either to understand or to get situated without an established community.

My favorite is Scuttlebutt, where you do your posts offline and they sync as you meet people in real life, along with people they have synced with. In this way, it grows in a more personal way. You can also sync online, too, if you choose.
Again, though... Concept is cool, adoption is low.
