> But with the revival of personal blogs well underway

Is it? I haven't seen anyone in my circle return to blogging, nor kids of this generation.

Discoverability is going to be a massive problem, since search engines are dead. Maybe word-of-mouth through social media is enough?

We could always resurrect WAIS and Gopher.

I sometimes compare Mediawiki vs SharePoint to Web x.0 vs WAIS n Gopher.

One is light on resources, storing just the information with some formatting hints, leaving presentation to standards and the other is SharePoint. The comparison is really about bloat, not functionality, but the two are intertwined.

SharePoint was, as I remember it, one big unnormalised table. Everything else was views on that.
