"I strongly suspect the only reason #Mastodon hasn’t been eaten alive by LLM #spambots is because we’re just not big enough to be lucrative. But those economics are shifting, and even obscure ecological niches can be worth filling."

Back to Web 1.0? 🤨😞

This is it, folks, the final post of my Web 2.0 memoir. Thanks for reading over the past 14 months and please consider buying the book. -> After leaving ReadWriteWeb in October 2012, it becomes apparent that the Web 2.0 era is over. I reflect on what the Web 2.0 bubble meant and how the internet industry continues to evolve. cybercultural.com/p/067-end-of #InternetHistory #Web20

In early December 2011, I travel to San Francisco for due diligence with SAY Media as it prepares to acquire ReadWriteWeb. Then, on the 14th, the transaction goes through and I no longer own RWW.

In October 2011 in San Francisco, I attend what turns out to be the last ever Web 2.0 conference. During the event, my COO Sean and I meet with 5 potential acquirers for ReadWriteWeb.

As we near the conclusion of my Web 2.0 memoir, we're now in the second half of 2011...and it's tough times for ReadWriteWeb. I worry about my relationship with Marshall, as I try to manage ructions within the writing team. It goes from bad to worse when several of our writers get poached by tech blog competitors. cybercultural.com/p/061-blog-b #InternetHistory #Web20

CyberculturalThe Great Editorial Pivot of 2011 As RWW Struggles Continue

I senaste numret av tidskriften Fokus funderar Claes-Magnus Berg på flanerandets sköna konst. Med utgångspunkt i Walter Benjamins och Charles Baudelaires syn på det klassiska flanerandet som en upptäcktsresa i både samhälle och själ, uppmuntrar han oss att göra motstånd mot algoritmerna och återerövra det digitala flanerande som karaktäriserade nätet innan #web20 Genom den decentraliserade webben som kanske väntar runt hörnet ser han en chans till just detta.

Reading a book (2020) about #HR which explains carefully what is “Web 2.0” makes me wonder if
- HR folks are really perceived as not knowledgeable about what’s been going on in the internet since 10 years OR
- is it my personal bias telling it was truly old news when the book was updated the last time?

IDK. But I feel like to book thinks I’m stupid 🙄

During my trip to SXSW in March 2011, I catch up with a couple of ReadWriteWeb writers — one of them quite angry. Then when I get back home, I start thinking about big changes to our company. I was having a crisis of confidence and wanted to transition out of the CEO role, so that I could focus fully on editorial. cybercultural.com/p/058-readwr #InternetHistory #Web20

CyberculturalTeam RWW Meetings at SXSW 2011 and a Crisis of ConfidenceDuring my trip to Austin in March 2011, I catch up with ReadWriteWeb writers Sarah Perez and Mike Melanson. Then when I get back home, I start thinking about big changes to our company.

In June 2010, I make my first trip to Portland, Oregon, where many of our ReadWriteWeb crew live. On a coworking day at a local cafe, I negotiate a tricky staff problem and also get to know the team better.

The social web went mainstream in 2009, with everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Ashton Kutcher on Twitter — including via iPhone or Android apps. But Web 2.0 capitalism was also ramping up, with "content farms" overtaking blogs and Facebook acquiring FriendFeed. cybercultural.com/p/internet-2 #InternetHistory #Web20
