Andrew Stephens rang a bell. “Save the Web by Being Nice”
My rant: read it or don’t. The way to have the new web is to be the new web. The web is here to talk to folks. I am one of the ones. So are you. Write it like you mean it. Start a blog, join a forum, add talk. It takes time. Do it. Say nice things on other blogs. Post good reviews. And learn to write well.
Check Hemingway’s 5 hints. Write short sentences. Write short first paragraphs. Use vigorous language. Be positive, not negative. Never have just five rules. (As for the fifth, Omar said, “It is my firm belief that it is a mistake to hold firm beliefs.”)
The point being, forget algorithms. Create! Make the new web. Try small words: let large words earn their keep. Be nice to those for whom you write and make the new web. For grins, I wrote my blog for 16 years; I sent 14 to archive. It’s your turn.
