We should not let the open web die a quiet death
(www.wired.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Reddit and its ilk are not the open web, they've been showing that clearly for years with the most recent bullshit (from any of them) just underlining what's already written on the wall.
Web 2.0 failed because of twits like Elon, bozos like Bezos, fuckers like Zuckerberg and Huffman who doesn't deserve a rhyme. We don't need them and never did, they're learning that right now.
I think Web 2.0 is coming to an end because we've seen a decade of web sites and services balloon to enormous sizes with absolutely no sustainable business model. They finally peaked with their userbase, there is nowhere else to grow. Now it's time to start making money. So how do you do that without ruining the experience and driving everyone off to the next big thing?
Not my problem I suppose.
