- pyre 17y agoNot really. Maybe on a basic level. But something like Twitter being centralized is less important to most people. Twitter is rather simple in concept and (at least a basic implementation) could be made as a project for an undergraduate CS course. Something that provided a decentralized Facebook/MySpace network would be more useful/important. As long as it was easy enough to deploy, people wouldn't necessarily need to get their own hosting option for it to work... but on the other hand it could open up a market for hosting that caters to people that just want to run that web-software package.
