Alan Levine says the web feels fine to him. He cits a pretty impressive list of doom and gloom predictions: " It's lost. It's dead. No the same folks say it's not dead. We have to save it. It's boring. It's lost that loving feeling. It needs to be made fun again." And he writes, "I think they are looking at the wrong end of the web donkey. Does anyone not remember the Long Tail? All of the lamenting, hand wringing, crying to the moon is focused completely on the head of the curve. The bag of gold is in the tail." Good point.
