Thanks Barney these are great responses. The one use I see really is not for creating an actual network but for creating a means by which to share data in a distributed way for largely financial institutions at this point in history at least and it takes adoption.

Financial apps would make more sense as blockchain model is quite secure at least for now! I highly doubt that Facebook and Twitter are running toward a situation where they lose their corporate agendas. I miss the open web. Can we have it back please?

I don't know how long you've been in web development but there once was a 5K contest for HTML which cracks me up now. I also believe that our developer tools have confused a lot of people. We would benefit for free, consistent EDU for content creators who offer webdev courses.

Well, the web standards crowd cough cough cough partly on me. I left the web standards project then disbanded. Maybe if they had stayed together, continued with the missions set forth in our task forces, they could have been a force majeure in preventing some of this crap today.
