the web is... too good for us? 11:28pm on 16 Jul 2009 I find this whole exercise deeply depressing and potentially alienating for many web users.

I spent my entire working life in the computer industry and was an early user of the internet. The web plays an integral role in my daily life, yet I scarcely recognise what I read on http://xrl.us/be3hnt or here.

This whole project seems to be aimed at wallowing in the superficial, the juvenile, the sheer banality of the ways that many people choose to use the internet. I don't 'twitter'; I know practically nothing about 'facebook' and have little interest in the kind of nonsense served up on 'youtube'.

Nonetheless I have, over a very long time, found the Internet to be an extraordinarily valuable resource.

Have you, perhaps, failed to recognise that there are huge numbers of web users who have no interest whatever in the kind of trivia with which you seem to be so preoccupied?
