From now on, everything that was on the internet, everything that was beyond its reach...
All of it has passed into the epoch of history, like photos, artists, and musicians.
People became so infected by the algorithm of the cool Wikipedia that they started calling it intelligence.
Maybe I, stuck in the era of the 2000s/2010s, remember it as a lively and humane time...

So far, I have been delving into the #Web3 and #crypto debate only superficially, as the very few notions I got led me to abhor any kind of technology related to the #blockchain.

Since I started my new job at @dweb, though, I am finding myself revisiting my position by deepening my knowledge on the topic. I am mostly drawing the same conclusions—crypto is terrible—yet I am glad I am learning more also on what I am very critical about.

I am particularly thankful to @mai for writing this article, which I believe is a great starting point to develop an informed opinion.

Above all, as mai points out, nothing is all-bad, and there are for sure ideas and practices that can be learned (as cautionary tales in the worst case scenarios) even from problematic technologies, communities, and/or founders.

After weeks of delay in closing the proposed Ziff Davis Enterprise acquisition of ReadWriteWeb, and seeing Ars Technica and PaidContent both get bought in mid-2008, I decide enough is enough. I'd spent $50k of my own money to try and get this deal done, and it was all for nothing. cybercultural.com/p/034-rww-wi #InternetHistory #Web2 #Serialization

In the #aughts (but probably starting a couple years earlier), we saw the rise of #web2, and the mass adoption of #MySpace, #Facebook, #Twitter. Especially with the rise of #cellphones with built-in cameras and #webbrowser enabled #smartphones, the information really began to flow in two directions with #UserGeneratedContent. I like to think of this as a one-dimensional vector field, where information was flowing in two directions, but still only in one dimension. 5/16
