I'm sooooo excited about the role of personal sites online. I think some people see them as a one-to-one replacement for, say, Facebook, which is missing out on the common space that Facebook created that just wasn't so much a thing before.

But with personal sites that are compatible with communities we get to take back our digital identities while having standard ways to engage.

As developers we can be early adopters of solutions that have one or two steps of complication (perhaps exciting complication), but the average internet user seriously needs this system to just work in order to adopt it.

I think we can get to the point where enough of this just works.
