HN every week: Old thing good, new thing bad.
Do you believe we should also go back to not having search engines? BBS as primary information sharing? Email & IRC as pretty much the only way to communicate?
Web 1.0 was riddled with scalability problems, you are free to take what you consider the best parts of it and simplify your Web 2.0 site.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoWeb 1.0 had search engines, message boards and instant messaging. Most of what you are describing is things that dominated before the web.
- bearjaws 5y agoNo disagreement on having message boards and instant messaging or search engines, I am saying that they are an actual step backwards when it comes to making lay people productive when using the web. Not everyone is a HN alum ready to write a boolean query to find the most relevant post on a forum.
