World of Ends is a document from 2003 that describes the nature of the Internet and highlights the misconceptions people have about it.This document is now 20 years old and I still think about it from time to time.http://worldofends.com/

Also that dig at pets.com is dated now that Bezos cracked the formula for selling pet toys online but still funny for those of us who have been around to see that spectacular failure.

@Polychrome It's weird how everybody stopped calling it 'the Net'. Never really noticed that until just now.

@rebecca_meadows we used to run services other than the web, now everything's 'the web'. Or was until mobile apps took over, but nearly all of them are using HTTP under the hood too. :meowShrug:

@Polychrome 4. Adding value to the Internet lowers its value.See: facebook, google, twitter, bitcoin, all ad exchanges & tracking hubs, etc...

@float13 these are all happening at the edges tho, the value being talked about is on the network/protocol level.
