who wants to reinvent usenet? gwan, you know you wanna

[livejournal.com profile] en_ki brought to my attention [livejournal.com profile] elsejournal, an effort to decentralize journals.  Since i have a genetic defect that precludes any possibility of generating useful code, i'll probably just bring my typical idea-based energy, throw out some documents, and in general irritate people when i point out, "UR DOIN IT RONG."  Because that worked so well back when my tilted windmill was Usenet II.

I know some of you care.  And of those, some might actually have the time to put something up.

Ooh! Ooh! It totally needs an NNTP interface! That would make it PERFECT!

Alternatively, we could just stick pins in our eyes.

What's the difference between a decentralized journal system and people just posting their journals on their own Web sites?
