Along these lines...do you know of any efforts to form a rebirth of Usenet?
It seems the Internet is really lacking a certain something without it.

Sure, there's Twitter, Facebook, etc., but those are corporations.

And sure, Usenet exists, but it seems most people don't use it anymore -
probably because of spam. Nevermind that major ISPs dropped it as part of
the included service (without a drop in price, BTW). Also, I imagine some of
the noobs have gotten used to graphics and avatars and such.


To me, it seems that something is missing in the original flavor of the
Internet w/o a distributed - and unowned by any one entity - medium like
Usenet.

Thousands of corporate owned silos is hardly a replacement.
