Web 0.2.2

Howard Greenstein is selling shovels. Here's my take on What's Changed between Web 0.1 and 0.2:
- Mode: Read vs. Dump (Not even the "writer" of some text or the "photographer" of some image is going to look at what they "produced", or IP violated)
- Primary unit of content: Page vs. IPO (Do people who want to MMF care if there are 10^12 units worth $10^-6 or 10^10 worth $10^-4? Just get some air in that bubble again by suggesting it's $10^12 * 10^-4 instead of $10^6 * 10^-4. Remember, it's not lying if you believe it yourself.)
- State: Static vs. unstable (eternal Betas, just forget about SLAs until the burst of this bubble wakes you up)
- Viewed through: Web browser vs. spyware (Anything Google can get their fingers in)
- Architecture: Client-server vs. TOS (Does anyone read the TOS of those Web 2.0 services?)
- Content created by: Web coders vs. a million monkeys (And web coders weren't Shakespeare to begin with)
- Domain of: Geeks vs. lawyers (That's no moon)
