would be cool for it to be less west/america-centric.

I was thinking the same. this is a very american centric vision of the internet - especially when it comes to the websites mentioned

Works for me as a German, online since 96.

Oh please yes create a version that applies to your cultural background and how you experienced the net!

what about https://web.archive.org/web/20010630195810/http://www.fireba... or studiVZ, knuddels, or even xing, for example?
