Yeah, that's going somewhere i think.

some random associations:

 diaspora had confusion between 'seeds' and 'pods' when they launched.
for 'node' i think more of the pod (server) than of the seed (account)

i have heard people call URLs links. 'send me the link of your
project' is quite common language actually.

What's your facebook? is another funny one (actually this boils down
to what's your last name and/or what string/avatar should i look for
to find you)

it depends a lot on whether we think the user@host format should be
fundamental, or host/path/to/file should also be an option.

i predict that "what's your web?" will be the (linguistically
incorrect) winner. after all, it's about being on the web. not just on
facebook, but on the web itself - your web, that is.

this is exciting stuff to be thinking about
