The ideas here sound right in a sense. I generally find that an overly academic tone that reeks of liberal arts degrees applied to web paradigms often makes itself overly fancy without delivering on the philosophy it espouses. In other words, yes, the web does need to be more community centered and a re-imagining may help that process. Of course, it did not take me long to say that very thing. Function and convenience dominate the web because that is what people have voted for over connections to other human beings in a meaningful way. How do you then get people to "re-visit" that principle when all the world seems to have voted for it?
