##Peer to Peer everything I was thinking about a peer to peer social network earlier. Well, I was actually thinking about peer to peer everything where agents work on your designated machines and work on your behalf to provide- home automation, quantified self, etc. Goal is to ensure privacy, security, etc. You could even sell your data directly instead of letting facebook or google sell your data.
I came across Huggin. Which uses agents to act on your behalf.
##Social network
The first step would be to allow users to use a storage of their choice (local, cloud-storage, etc).
I was digging into this and realized that this would be similar to the Higgins Project. I was wondering if there is progress on this.
I am imagining:
- open protocol for a social network file system (SNFS)
- multiple social network portals
- that work over SNFS
- or talk to agents that work on SNFS
- these portals provide user interfaces for a person's messages, news feed, etc
- provides pubsub
- Users decide where they want their storage (local, server, dropbox, webdav etc)
##Chat Omlet chat seems to be going in the right direction. They store user's chats on the cloud. However, its only archive of the chat. They still keep last 15 days of chat.
