This article makes me wonder if what the author is calling for is even possible. The web, to me, seems subject to exactly the same phenomenons of growth as all other human enterprises. It starts off with auspicious beginnings where everyone involved knows almost everyone else involved. It grows slowly and retains that old familiar feeling during the honeymoon of its existence. Then, when it really catches steam and starts growing, everyone from the original cohort gets excited about how it's going to change the lives of all the newcomers in the same way it changed theirs. In actuality, there's a saturation point that gets reached where there's so many people using this system that structure inevitably grows out of it/gets applied to it. It's the difference between the city hall in a town of 200 versus the US Congress presiding over 300+ million. When things grow, they become systemic.
