This could make things interesting. One comment I got from my circle of friends was the Pub-like conversational aspect of Facebook is part (all?) of the charm. With P2, one could ‘as easy as WordPress’ (which is pretty flippin’ easy) host one’s own instance of a very similar experience. The challenges, of course, include access control and the barriers to ease of use with having to auth against all of your friends’ individual instances. Still, could be a baby step to my fantasy of  ‘protocolizing’ what we think of as social networks out of existence.
