> I have really come to hate the World Wide Web. It is bloated at every level! I have to admit that this opening statement almost stopped me reading the rest of the article. Which is a pity, because Gemini does sound like an interesting endeavour. I went searching (via the bloated World Wide Web) and found the Gemini FAQ page (https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html) which (in my opinion) makes a much better argument for considering this alternative approach to delivering content over the wire. > I could totally see Gemini being used as an alternative particularly for the non-comerical individuals who use text as a primary medium. Blogs, poems, recepies, tutorials are perfect for the Gemini format. The one big thought I had - as a content developer (I write poems: I will never apologise for this) - as I read through the FAQ was: "Yet another distribution channel to maintain" ... because Gemini reminds me (probably unfairly) of WAP and its Wireless Markup Language. Back in the day I was very keen to inflict my poems on everybody in the world: I posted them on Usenet (mainly RAP), various web-based bulletin boards, a Blogger Blog (with a blogroll!) and, of course, my own poetry website. Reaching out to a mobile-centred audience was the next logical step. But the mechanics of the effort defeated me, and I soon grew to truly detest WML and its stupid limitations. I suppose, in 2020, adding another communications channel to my current website's toolchain should be a lot easier ... but I don't want to do the work. If the people around Gemini can get more passionate content creators to do the necessary work, then maybe it will have an interesting/exciting future?
