Yes. The web succeeded in the early days because it gave people a way to put their thoughts out in the world when it was previously impossible. No one cared that the design was awful, that you had to code html by hand, that the urls where very readable and followed strict conventions. A new web does not have to be an object of technical beauty. It has to enable some form of human desire that is not fullfiled by the current web. One thing that I've thought about frequently is how the web enables global communities but how little it does to enhance local communities (based on physical closeness).
