> In Webland, there are four massive cities called Amazonia, Appleville, Facetown, and Googlemore, and one-third – or 2 billion citizens – choose to live inside these cities, but they represent two-thirds of the economic activity of Webland.<p>Interesting (even if slightly cheesy) analogy.<p>I can't understand why we're still talking about the Open Web as an unambiguously good thing at this point. The principles sound solid but history has played out in very different way to any expectations of Open Web advocates. Does the logic of the Open Web really still make sense for today considering the current landscape?
