must run their own hardware with their own databases and so on
I have hardware in my pocket that is hundreds of times more powerful than the first web servers I every worked on. There is no technological reason why that same hardware couldn't be used. I'd love to have a PAN based around my phone (which is way more local to me that much of the "hardward with their own databases" that I've ever worked on. Federation to Facebook/Google/Instagram/whatever the next big thing is would be amazing. And the reason it hasn't happened even though powerful hardware is everywhere isn't due to lack of technology.

I'm working on product that federates software deployments to any target cloud using immutable data structures provided by the blockchain. It's called Wisdom.
