Tuned into @aral's "Small web" – gotta love the setup of Computer <visualisations> Speaker. The camera setup is great, since it's not the regular "person talking to the camera above the screen" perspective, but rather a cozy "I'm sitting right next to him" vibe.

@aral @moonglum @bascht Ah, the hazards of live demos

I agree with Aral on many things. I don't think it's too late to improve the internet, but it may require a movement with its own standards organisation to start shifting the balance of power in a more significant way. And we should also keep up the pressure on friendly non-profits and conference organisers to divest in Google and Facebook. It needs to become uncouth or "not good PR" to have Google as a platinum sponsor.

@bob @moonglum @bascht Indeed. But first we need working prototypes that people actually use. Standards can come later and pave the cow paths.

@aral @bob @moonglum @bascht Well, I think it is both. The formula that produced the early internet was:

use value = raw consensus + working code

Its continued success has been attributed to the famous RFC documentation.
