With the looming threat of SOPA, completely decentralized

interesting.
Namecoin is perhaps the most interesting to-date, but what other systems
are people working on? Are there people who are particularly
enthusiastic about this subject whose blogs I should be reading? Or
other sites/discussion forums which deal with this issue in particular?
(And yes, I've heard of Zooko's Triangle ;)
Zooko's triangle solves half the problem: provides a trusted path. If
you trust X, and X trusts Y, you can trust that X's introduction to Y
will in fact bring you to the correct Y.
The problem then becomes having large number of trusted introduction - a
map between human phrases, and documents containing information about
globally unique identifiers that are relevant to that phrase: Something
like Wikipedia, but without centralized authority forbidding "original
research", aka any deviation from official government truth, and
something like a search engine.
