I think the corporate takeover is just beginning. In the meantime, old nethands are I think getting more cynical about this: are blogs anything but a forum for self-image in the weird, slightly sick style that virtual identity fosters?
It's like being a drama student in high school. You shout your thoughts to the world and then dress them up "artily" so you sound "unique." What yucky culture.
Or defining "stable" (sensu Windows) by the usage pattern: "When I run Microsoft Office and IE only, it is very stable..."
Then again, most users don't need Linux "stable" either. They need GEOS
The "reality" of the situation is more complex than our political and social identities would let us admit.
Screw it, I'm heading to a Buddhist monastery, and I'll let the rest of you rot in dhamma-fixation.
The localization is something people would like. I guess the way I'd do it would be to hook up a wireless router to a single machine, and configure the gateway such that all traffic were directed to it. At that point, whether you use web or telnet is up to you, but I'd consider web as everyone already knows the interface. Are you going to tell us which is the lucky community which will receive this gift?
Convergence is one half of the cycle of inventing many new trivial gadgets and then consolidating them, ensuring there's something we all just must buy every year. The result is an endless cash supply and burgeoning landfill...
