As I user, I'd want what Thomas proposes for several rather simple reasons:
1. I don't want to be a profile page (creating & distributing my data) in someone else's silo/platform in order to enjoy the functionality many web applications bring to people like me 2. I am not able to maintain my own web server or maintain applications on hosted server in a fashion that would provide me with not only data storage but also functionality that got me creating all that data in the first place 3. I don't trust any 3rd party or intermediary to 'house' my data without using and abusing it as well as their ability to provide me with not only data storage but also functionality that got me creating all that data in the first place 4. P2P seems like the only and logical solution that would go some way to restoring user autonomy - and I have always seen it as one of the main visions behind the Mine! project - themineproject.org - my contribution to more autonomous data & relationships logistics online.
