Anil Dash:
> In the early days of the social web, there was a broad expectation
> that regular people might own their own identities by having their
> own websites, instead of being dependent on a few big sites to host
> their online identity. In this vision, you would own your own domain
> name and have complete control over its contents, rather than having
> a handle tacked on to the end of a huge company's site. This was a
> sensible reaction to the realization that big sites rise and fall in
> popularity, but that regular people need an identity that persists
> longer than those sites do.

> And they [=Facebook etc.] 've now narrowed the possibilites of the

> more innovative and meaningful their experience could be.
