The most important thing that was new was the idea of URI-or URL, that any piece of information anywhere should have an identifier, which will allow you to get hold of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.
But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools.
The Web as we've known it for a long time has been pages linking and pointing to other pages.
The exciting new thing, call it Internet.2, would be where links were updated and moved depending on where people click. That would give you the kind of content screening that you don't get at the moment.
I was really excited by the idea that people were sharing information now and discovering information in a totally new way on the Internet via Twitter and Facebook, yet that experience was pretty clunk and just lots of bit.ly links.
There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.
The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.
The promise of the early web was that everyone could have a website but there was something missing. Maybe the technology wasn't ready.
New information makes new and fresh ideas possible.
Everything I discovered was new and most of it was really valuable.
