Just a very focused, streamlined implementation as a Weblog tool, or
CMS, or online forum, or other Internet application with a great
“out-of-the-signup-page” UI experience for just that one purpose…with
everything that was extraneous to that purpose turned off or hidden.

Something that you could explain anyone interested in that type of web
service in one sentence or two.

Nevermind the funding. What “killer application” would you imagine
if Macrobyte (or anybody) had a big budget of time and money?

Well, the great initial experience is easier to solve. We really
need new sites to come with more of our modern features, and better
looking templates. That would make a huge difference.
