The People's Web

"We don't have to imagine what that more human, more expressive, more valuable web could look like," writes Anil Dash. "We just have to pay attention to the fact that we visit it every day." He cites examples like IMDB, Wikipedia, Snopes and Stack Overflow, and his focus is on "massive, collectively-maintained, curated and organized libraries of communal culture," but I think the vast network of individual web sites (like my own!) are what make these collections possible (just as one of our MOOCs wouldn't exist without all the individual contributions). "We're going to need to imagine models of experiences and communities that could provide a better alternative. There's not going to be a 'Facebook killer'. But there could simply be lots of other sites, that focus on a different, more constructive and generative, set of goals."
