É, mas mesmo assim é a melhor aplicação concreta que eu já vi de uma darknet.

A Web 3.0 parece estar mesmo a chegar:

E o tal NuWeb parece não ser só vaporware:

Do meu ponto de vista vejo dois problemas
1 - nem toda a gente dispõe de um espaço livre suficientemente
generoso no seu disco rígido. Mas há um tipo, o Pablo, que foi o
criador da rede Manolito (Blubster e Piolet) que parece já está a dar
conta do recado. Ele pretende criar uma rede P2P com um disco rígido
virtual, a Omemo (www.omemo.com). Excertos de uma peça sobre ele na
Slyck:

http://www.slyck.com/story1397.html

"Omemo is significantly different as it will create a virtual hard
drive among peers. Like any storage medium, the end user can save his
or her file, however the file will be stored in cyberspace rather than
the individual's hard drive. If the network were to reach its full
potential, the end user would experience a near limitless supply of
storage space – as well as a near limitless supply of information
(...) Each user dedicates a certain disk space percentage to the
network and contributes to the virtual hard drive community"

2 - As ligações de acesso à Internet em banda larga dos ISPs
comerciais não oferecem sincronismo de dados, isto é, são assíncronas
- a velocidade de download é muito superior à de upload. Ora, julgo
que isto é uma condição essencial para que as pessoas adiram em massa
a uma rede livre. Alguém daqui tem noção da velocidade de upload que
as redes mesh e o WiMax oferecem?

2007 promete ;-) Vou desenvolver isto na segunda parte do post sobre a Web 3.0.

a interface web é meio confusa e bem feia.
