D'Arcy Norman says, and I agree, "We need a human-scale, non-technical way for individuals to manage their connections with other individuals, without having to hand control over those connections to any company to mine and monetize. It's not about content – it's about managing connections to people, and to the things they are doing." He also links to Boone Gorges and something called Project Reclaim, saying "by the end of 2011, I'm hoping to have my email moved, my microblogging federated, my own backup system on my own server space, and my computer running an open-source OS." The problem is, right now, all this is hard. And it needs to be easy.
