   Email can already be delay tolerant, if we use pop3 and smtp instead of imap.

   Blogs, vlogs, podcasts, etc can already be delay tolerant if we use RSS.

   Message boards can already be delay tolerant, using NNTP/usenet protocols.

   Social has a few delay tolerant options, including SSB. More are possible, if we build up to them.

     For a while, when I had a portable computing device but not mobile internet (a palm pilot), I used a piece of software that would automatically fetch web pages, format them for the palm, and sync them. I set it to fetch every 1st and 2nd degree link from a page (so every link on that page, and every link on those pages) with some other tolerances to keep the resultant bundle of files from getting too huge (I only had 1GB of storage available for web pages, after all)

     @ajroach42 Not sure if you're aware but there is a whole HAM hardware radio with high latency projct. FaradayRF. They're implementing parts of your idea. Might be a cool starting point if you have't seen them before?

     @ajroach42 It may even work better if you can't click every itty bitty thing and get an immediate response.
