Awesome writeup!

Sure, it's easier to setup your own web presence with "the cloud" today than it used to be, but this only further centralizes control of content to the big cloud providers.

Not to mention the cost of bandwidth when serving content via HTTP. Sure, you can distribute your content via BitTorrent, but what kind of user experience is that? Can my grandma use it? Probably not.

I hope IPFS sees further adoption.

Thanks! Help us make it :) -- https://github.com/ipfs/

and, you'll love what we have coming. Soon, you won't need to install ipfs at all :D

Are you talking implementing IPFS on the browser level? Is there public code yet?

See https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs.js

It's coming along, not fully functional yet but you can watch its progress (or contribute code :D ) at https://github.com/ipfs/node-ipfs

Does this mean that browser-only users will not be able to 'host' content?
