The document discusses the idea of a user-centric web where users own and control their own data through open standards and user-specific APIs, rather than being dependent on proprietary platforms. It suggests building a social client similar to an email client that would act as an interface for all of one's networking, messaging, blogging and publishing needs through open protocols like Activity Streams and OAuth. The document argues this could help users take back control of their identity, data and privacy from platforms.

- 26. Browser is the best place to start with ...... Weave looked like taking baby steps towards it but its roadmap seems to be different and its motto too.
- 27. Demand is showing that here lies an opportunity for a social client-server app running on an open standard. Functioning much like an email client which acts as an interface to your mail via SMTP or IMAP, This will be the one centralized location for all your networking, messaging, blogging and personal publishing needs. http://rolfskyberg.wordpress.com/2007/06/29/the-time-for-a-social-client-is-near/
