Rohn Woodecurring outages on major networking sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn, along with incidents where Twitter members were mysteriously dropped for days at a time, have led many people to challenge the centralized control exerted by companies running social networks. Whether you're a street demonstrator or a business analyst, you may well have come to depend on Twitter. We may have been willing to build our virtual houses on shaky foundations might when they were temporary beach huts; but now we need to examine the ground on which many are proposing to build our virtual shopping malls and even our virtual federal offices.Instead of the constant churning among the commercial sites du jour (Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter), the next generation of social networking increasingly appears to require a decentralized, peer-to-peer infrastructure. This article looks at available efforts in that space and suggests some principles to guide its development.

By the end of 2000, the term peer-to-peer had become a
household word. But the movement quickly went into retreat, facing
difficult design problems that were already under discussion in the
O'Reilly book
Peer to Peer,
published in February 2001. I summarized the problems, which remain
ongoing, in the articles
From P2P to Web Services: Addressing and Coordination and
From P2P to Web Services: Trust.
