Bullspit!

I’ve read this guy’s crap before and his thing seems to be that semantics
fails because it’s not open to monetization. His version of the web already
exists in the spammatic web.

I will now defer to dissenting discussion.

I’ve read the article twice and to be honest I still don’t fully understand his point. I’m actually feeling kinda stupid right about now.

What you may be feeling is the nauseous unease produced by your well-honed
skepticism of greasy hucksters spouting incomprehensible jibber-jab as they
attempt to pick your pockets.

Some people may look forward to a twerking-celebrity-video pop-up
advertgeddon as the meaningful future of the interwebs, but I’m still gonna
hold out for a different outcome.

Is that really his primary agenda … money? I guess I’m not connecting the dots. Though the more I read it the less sense it makes to me. Usually a good indicator that something’s amiss.

He has a link to a follow-up article title “The Synaptic Web” (
Synaptify Ventures ) which I think lays his vision out a bit
more clearly… still, I can be easily accused of misunderstanding his
position, but I swear I’ve heard this song-and-dance before (Facebook
anyone?).

I remember something from the Hippy decade, something about how Capitalism
would lead to cannibalism. I’ve often thought the same thing about
consumerism-driven marketing, that it would feed our own flesh to us on a
plate while we smile and thumbs-up the whole process.

I’m in the same boat as Todd. The authors reasoning and logic just doesn’t make sense. In one blow, he both admonishes Wikipedia and recommends we go to a system that sounds an awful lot like Wikipedia, but created in JSON, and is much less reliant on facts.

On the flip side, it sounds like he’s advocating replacing the internet, as we know it, with one giant social media platform. I don’t see how this could ever happen, unless a megalithic entity was able to control the entire web. Not even the US government could do that. Microsoft even tried to make the web exclusive with IE6, and failed miserably because of projects like Mozilla.

Yeah, that article doesn’t make sense.
