Seen any serious effort to get anything like this running?
If you mean a fundamental shift to distributed networking as a step in getting this running, then there's the Named Data Networking group [named-data.net]. Funneling traffic into an endpoint (websites) was always a bad idea, that's why caches were built. Once you can query surrounding caches and pull from your neighbor or whomever has the data rather than from a specific IP address (decouple content from location), then many such distributed systems will be the norm. We've already kludged together something like this with etags, expires headers and caches, but it's time to do things right.
Usenet was nice, but it dosen't quite fit the bill as more efficient distributed systems are now possible.
