The big idea behind Solid is that, instead of a company storing all your personal data on their servers, you would keep it on your own personal data “pod”, located on a Solid server. You could run your own server or host it with a provider, much like a personal website. You could then give individual apps permission to read and write to your pod. When you want to stop using an app, you just revoke its access. The data remains on your pod, and businesses making apps never have to worry about storing it, deleting it, or making it easily exportable.
Being honest... I find the idea pretty interesting and a better model than the current one, where we are just the product and have no control at all about it. I would not care if he makes money with it.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Every other wanker and his auntie have made money out of the interwebs by doing bad things. If Tim wants to make a few well-deserved bob by doing good things, I'm all in favour.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
