The Web is Not Dead
A recent article in Wired titled, “The Web is Dead, Long Live the Internet,” hypothesizes that the Web has become more curated/focused due to the popularity of mobile apps and is becoming more a highway than desitnation.
That’s an easy knee jerk assumption except that the Web’s continuing strength will be open access. Television is still going strong despite DVRs, DVDs and streaming media.
Why? Discovery.
While we may look at curating sites like Mashable or our social network, we still seek content that is important to us, to share/contribute to the online community. Also, how can these sites curate, even through an app if their staff is not actively seeking new information?
Someone has to be the tastemakers, right?
