The message in this post is simple: "There is something you can do to help the open web. Put yourself on it." And it's an especially relevant message given that some long-time education and edtech people have recently been posting in more closed places like Google Docs and LinkedIn instead of on their own blogs available on the open web. "So put something on the open web, free from the major platforms competing for our attention. And then, after that comes the real trick. Don't ask for anything back. Let it be free. Libre and gratis. Help bring the web back." P.S. Jay Hoffmann's history of the web isn't my history of the web. My history is told in my archives and articles. But what we have in common is a deep affection for this place, the open web. Via Alan Levine.
