Sweet! I particularly like the idea of servers as "data kitchens".
While everyone having their own server might be an ideal, there are a lot of levels in between the current situation where most people have a severely limited accounts on services like Facebook and them having root on a server... After all, having a blog on wordpress.com, a photo store at flickr, music at last.fm etc is pretty distributed. If anything the problem is that the user's Web presence is too distributed, in the control of multiple other parties.

"in summer of 2010, one project named Diaspora caught everyone's imagination" - hmm, my imagination was rather thwarted by the install instructions: https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-and-Running-Diaspora > Why Clerezza is the best to do this, everybody on this list should understand > :-) Indeed... in this context it'd be nice to have an off-the-shelf distro with some sample user-friendly apps preconfigured.
