I do hope we eventually end up with a platform wide message system that is relatively easy to use and has a small footprint. As I've said in other comments, I know there is a message system that's part of PeakD but I've never been able to get it to work, even though I try again from time to time!

I do like the idea of a hive light type of account where basically people can get started with a login with Google or log in with Facebook type approach and have access to posting features without having to worry about storing keys and understanding wallets and so forth. They would even be able to post content and watch their rewards build up they just wouldn't be able to access it until they commit to having a full account and the attendant responsibilities.

I think the Inleo community has something like that going or some variation of it.
