Another classification facet is whether the hosting is for personal or 
shared use.

Some of our current use of central services are obviously collaborative 
in nature - like Facebook and del.icio.us.  Other, however, are not: 
Google can refine their search engine by applying graphing algorithms to 
use patterns, but the use itself is not collaborative.

I just looked a bit closer at desktopcouch[1] and want that on my 
FreedomBox - as a personal replication service: to share web bookmarks 
etc. not with my friends but with myself!

So it relates to bookmarks, calendaring etc., but in another facet than 
ical and scuttle.
