How to route the thing? Through a peer-to-peer network? If so it's slightly better, but using a peer to peer architecture for just "facebook" seems strange. It'd be very hard to maintain without a central location somewhere. Surprisingly facebook has a huge amount of data associated with it. So eventually even if this got large it'd have problems. Batman peer to peer tried to do free wifi for all mobiles which would be awesome, but I don't know really what came of that because peer-to-peer networks are hard to maintain for connectivity.

Again, Calling it "facebook in a box" is limiting the idea completely. Facebook is a very very one dimentional ego-feed. You cant have child accounts, household calendars, information regarding what you have, own, household rolodex, a self-styled/branded blog, etc... There is so much lacking in the disjointed "cloud" services that are available to people. They SEEM "MASSIVE" only because many others use them, they are not massive because of what they offer you. Gmail is a sliver of functionality, as is facebook and twitter and any other service. And they are all compromised. The point isnt to duplicate with they offer - its to pull back from their entire offering model. HAve an appliance for your house and online presence that is YOURS. Features and services which you can pick and choose from - but in the end that you actually control all access to and from.
