What Jamie wrote
I dig my friend Barry's take on curating the web. Fundamentally he's going to the importance of a vibrant and diverse web, connected with hyperlinks, and all of us sharing what resonates with others. Not in a proprietary social network driven by surveillance. Just on the web.
In my opinion we must look within for the solution. We are the human beings that are meant to curate the web. We should continue to spread the word about how we use the web, which is very personal and as active participants. We should make clear our desire for technologies that are accessible for non-technical people to be able to join us in controlling their own web presence. We build our websites and share our thoughts and link our links. Over time the web becomes surfable to more and more people.
I like to think that this is exactly what I’m doing with the Weekly Thing and my blog.
