The Web is (not) dead...if you believe Scientific American, not Wired
November 23, 2010
Commentary by Stephen Downes

More on the defense of the web. "The reason the Web has remained open is because Berners-Lee, and the Web consortium, have protected the founding principles. Is society so crass that it won't stand up for ideals that go beyond a profit motive? Many more truly human benefits, as well as commercial successes, can come from an open Web than from a commercially controlled Web."
