How do you know what’s happening elsewhere? Other than having relations, it falls under reporters to propagate news. How do you meet new people? You go to special events and gatherings. The web is already linked, but we have special nodes like search engines, directories, and forums that are information hubs.

Creating a website was always easy. The minimum html you need is very small, and all you have to do is copy the files with an ftp client. Then tools like wordpress came and it became even easier.

What social medias have done was to put everyone in the same space. First there were walls and you just have to build your own information hub. Now, the platform is providing you its own like a private television service (including ads) whether you like it or not.

No need to invent a new version of the web, we can always go back to what was working and is still working.
