Stardate 20010604.0921 (On Screen): I think maybe we've got a case of tunnel blindness here. What's failing isn't the free web, it's the free
commercial web. But there is a lot to the web which is not commercial and I see no sign at all that it is being affected at all. Some of the
best sites on the web are not-for-profit. Will the web be a different place with the collapse of the commercial invasion? Unquestionably. Will it be a
worse place? That's not as obvious. (Of course, to "CNET News.com Staff" it sure will be, because they'll all be out of jobs.)
However, it's not even obvious that the free commercial web is failing. What's failing is big-budget broad-spectrum, fat free commercial web. Lean-and-mean small commercial web is doing fine. (discuss)
