Was just reading this as I love whenever Jay Hoffman publishes! This post is full of quotables.
There is something you can do to help the open web. Put yourself on it.
When Berners-Lee freed the web, he tied it to a promise. To make information free as well. Implicit in that promise was the idea that that information would come from all of us. That collectively, our experiences and our contributions would create a free and open web.
Put something on the web. And do it for free.
Here’s the thing about you. You know something nobody else does. You have a perspective that nobody else does.
Start a blog. Post an art project. Write a poem. Create a fan page. Contribute to a Wikipedia article you know something about. These little actions, these little contributions, are the best way we have to claw back to a truly free web.
And I don’t care. I’m contributing to the free web.
Now what one to include for my bookmark post?
