Comment(by phobos):

 I think of this more as "hidden services 2.0". We need to make them as
 reliable as .coms today. Fast enough to be usable. More resistant to known
 attacks. Easier to setup and configure safely. Easier to integrate into
 existing services in the non-onion world.

 This likely involves new crypto, new designs, and new thoughts on
 scalability. How does one scale a popular hidden service? What if twitter,
 identica, facebook, or google wanted to offer a hidden service at their
 scale?
