uServ -- P2P Webserver from IBM

They claim the system, which works from behind firewalls and when you are offline (provided you can convince other peers to 'replicate' your site), is in active use by about 900 people within IBM. Here's the white paper."

    For example Slashdot, when you go to http://slashdot.org/, not index.pl, is a static page.

    Really? Does it say This page was generated by a Cadre of Rabid Bruins for Webmonger (24302). for you too?

    Only AOL Time Warner Turner, News Corp, Verizon [lostbrain.com] and Oprah should be allowed to make Web pages.

    Everyone else doing it will just mess stuff up!
