It’s been a while since I ‘ve written something here -long pause-. I have to say that two things urged me to write the following. First, free time. And secondly, Camlistore. Camlistore stands for  ”Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage“. It is another “20% project” from a few Google employees and it goes by the line a way to store, sync, share, model and back up content. As you will find out, Camlistore is a project still under heavy construction, but you can have a look if you still want to.

To make things less confusing -while repeating parts of the documentation- here is a list of what could one potentially do with all this:

• Filesystem backups
• Efficient remote filesystem
• Decentralized sharing system
• Blog / photo hosting / Document Management CMS
• Decentralized social networking
• Import/export adapters for hosted web services

Reading the above things one could do with Camlistore -though all the potential uses of this product sound exciting- I couldn’t get my eyes of the “decentralized social networking”. Not just because it is written in bold, but because the concept of decentralized social networking seems to me so vital these days. Of course one thing that did crossed my mind while reading the words “decentralized social networking” was diaspora.
