The New Net: Introduction
Posted Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 9:25 am by Dave Moyer
Starting today, and continuing till… (who knows when?) I’ll be writing about “The New Net” and how the internet has been, and is, evolving. I’ll also be talking about people, (very broad, I know) and how they are reacting to these changes. Here’s a little FAQ:
Q. What IS “The New Net?
A. “The New Net” is the term I’ve decided to use for the new internet in this series. This is very different from “Web 2.0″ and similar terms, as those are, in essence, buzz words that are now used as an adjective to describe sites, services, and companies. “So and so is a new Web 2.0 site that does such and such.” Phrases like this are very common today, but I’m writing on a much broader topic.
Q. What, specifically, are you going to be covering?
A. Here’s a little sample of the topics I’ll be writing about. This is just a small list, and topics are in no way limited to the following:
- Open Source, and how it’s changed the internet
- Design changes
- Domain names: what they used to mean, what they mean now
- Sticks in the Mud (those people who don’t want to change)
- The Blinded (those people who are completely unaware of changes)
- Who’s got a website: Then and now
Thanks for reading, and look forward to the first in this series very soon. If you have any topics that you think I should write about,
