The more people use the service the greater the capacity of the network storage and bandwidth. And it does not require any server. The transition between the current web services is easy to do by providing api to the dht network. I think the common memory problem can easily solved by p2p dht service.

I have been thinking a lot about this lately and have been reading lots on web programming technologies to revamp my professional career in that direction. I think one thing we need is W3-like standard protocols for exchanging this information. So I can log in to my Linux machine at home with my system profile that says my calendar is stored at calendar-protocol://x-company.com/username and this is my password. My office documents are at office-protocol://y-company.com/username and my photos are stored at image-protocol://z-company.com/username. Then when I go to work I make those same configurations on my work's XP profile for my personal PC. Then when I'm at home I save a document using OpenOffice and it seamlessly integrates with my online documents for opening and saving. When I got to work Microsoft Office seamlessly integrates as well. Then one day company x pisses me off and I realize that company w has been recommended a lot. I simply migrate my calendar to w's site and repoint and my desktop doesn't miss a beat. On my low-end laptop I could browse to an online office application and provide it with my online office document information and it seamlessly integrates with my online docs as well. This provides competition, desktop independence, and open standards. Whether I'm using my personal computer, a friends computer, my XBox 360/PS3/Wii/Whatever, iPhone/gPhone or any other device the independence is so strong that people stop caring what OS or platform they are working on and information retrieval is omnipresent.

And believe getting JS code developed with Firefox running in IE is not that easier than porting a C application to Windows. ;) oh, you actually still have that different platform issues – its just that your platforms are not called Debian, RH, OpenSolaris and Windows, but Firefox3, Firefox2, Internet Explorer and WebKit.

It's more than just that you can update the app with any request. It's the development is cross platform much easier. That is a problem, even on linux. When working with Gnome Do I don't know how many times we had people having various build issues on distro XX/YY. Your gmail works on Ubuntu, Debian, RH, OpenSolaris as well as on windows and mac.
