Here's an article by Vitalik, explaining the differences between UTXOs and Ethereum's account-based model and why Ethereum did it that way.

Sadly not that much from the top of my head. I mostly became familiar with it through IPFS[0][1], but the Wikipedia article lists other projects that might have interesting resources[2].
Disclaimer: I'm working on a project[3] to create a content-addressable version of OWL2 (Web Ontology Language), so I'm certainly a bit biased.

Looking through the grandparent's twitter provides a couple links on their solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbe6WibeRzQ&feature=youtu.be and https://medium.com/@ConsenSys/uport-the-wallet-is-the-new-browser-b133… in particular.
