It's a terrible name. Many of these projects have nothing to do with the web (the three concrete examples cited were two filesharing protocols and one cryptocurrency, none of which are about serving websites). And it's awkward to say.

[rapnie]

It's hard to come up with a well-sounding name that both conveys the concept of 'web' as well as 'distributed / decentralized'.

Distrinet? Meshweb? Hmm..

[err4nt]

What about "the mesh". Can be used interchangeably with "the cloud".

[Razengan]

It's bringing horrible flashbacks of when "blog" was forced upon us; an ugly, dumb-sounding term that I still try not to acknowledge.

"D-net" might have been better.

[krapp]

"Vlog" is even worse. It sounds like someone's about to vomit.

[MrEldritch]

Try actually pronouncing "Dweb." Say it a few times. Really get that mouthfeel.

"Vlog" almost sounds cool in comparison.

[falcolas]

There's no need to make it one syllable: de-web works well enough for me.

[MrEldritch]

Honestly, after looking over it a few times, I figure "D-Web" is how it was probably intended to be pronounced anyway, and sounds fine.

[ken]

There's no pronunciation guide, so I assume it's pronounced just like "dweeb". Not awkward, but not exactly flattering, either.

[rockybulwinkle]

yeah i downloaded that album last night on the _dweeb_

[andyidsinga]

that's exactly how I read dweb at first glance :)
