Web 2.0 doesn't exist

Well, the expression exists. There it is: "Web 2.0". But as a concept, it's almost like talking about "Onion 2.0" just because you now do pickles differently.

I remember Andrew Keen and his position regarding this phenomena. His criticism is totally valid as long as you start with assuming that "Web 2.0" actually exists. The name itself invokes criticism. Put aside this assumption and you'll find yourself actually talking about criticizing large scale mediocrity and large scale deification of mediocrity,  which is historically unprecedented.

I freakin' hate Javascript!

Wait, I actually freakin' loathe it! And since I'm currently and unintentionally involved in a big project demanding JS, all my old hatred shall spill in this post. That or I'll just go out in the streets screaming like a lunatic.

Replying is democracy

Netarhia offers a not-so-common replying system, which is only partly innovative, it's more of a twist of things that are already there on the today's web, and its originality gains substance expressly within the whole of Netarhia: a democratic, yet controlled platform dedicated to publishing content by multiple authors.
