Seems like a lot of things are in rapid development from alternative social networks, to new further development of anonymity networks like Yggdrasil, ZeroNet and LokiNet to a slew of new messenger apps and services.

What are you looking forward to seeing take off this year?

Aether is pretty neat but like most P2P sites, has it's drawbacks of having to host bits of content for the network locally and I personally have never been a fan of having to "update websites" so I can see what is most current like on ZeroNet.

Can you send me a link to that Aether Website? I haven't found a link to it yet

Definetly ZeroNet. the UI of ZeroNet makes me really excited and it also seems very modern, and it's really easy to create your own "Zite" using it.

I check ZeroTalk every few days or so...

My only issue with Zites is it's not as straight forward as a traditional website, meaning that even though you can have a dynamic site, you can't do it as easily as you would on the other networks.

I have a Zite that I need to update for another site of mine but I hate doing it because I have to take a dynamic, php driven site and just create a flatfile html version of it for ZeroNet and remove the dynamic components of it. =/

EDIT: Also, I don't like how I can't (easily) sync data between all my devices. Depending on where I am in my house or if I'm using my phone, that's different ZeroID's I'm using to interact with Zites, and that's how many times I have to download the same data again.

Tor but only if they can get proper funding

Surely there is an easy way to create a static version of your site using wget? X-D

There is, and I'm doing something similar. Just annoying, haha.
