I got to visit the physical Internet Archive this evening, featuring a tour from the one and only Brewster Kahle. Really enjoyed it, and they are doing amazing work keeping our Internet history alive!

Elon’s war on the og:title is obviously the biggest boon for serverless (fka “jamstack”) hosting platforms to push just in time custom og:image rendering for every webpage served on earth (but also come for the @aidotengineer recap, stay for the Cerebral Arena exclusive)

The big social media questions: 1. When will Threads federate? 2. When will Bluesky open up? 3. When will Mastodon get a decent UX? 4. When will the AI tech crowd abandon X? 5. When will the US government ban TikTok? Which will happen first?

I'm pleased to announce my new book, a memoir to be serialized on Substack. It's called "Bubble Blog: From Outsider to Insider in Silicon Valley's Web 2.0 Revolution". It chronicles the rise of the modern internet during the first decade of this century. cybercultural.com/p/bubble-blog-…

Added a roadmap (table of contents) for my new book; I got the idea from Steven Sinofsky's substack. The first post of the serialization of my memoir — the introductory chapter — will go out later today, so do subscribe if you haven't already! cybercultural.com/p/roadmap-bubb…

Here's the introductory chapter of my new Web 2.0 memoir and history book, Bubble Blog. It sets the scene with my first trip to Silicon Valley in 2005, revisits the "Web 2.0 meme map", and describes my first (and only) interaction with Marc Andreessen. cybercultural.com/p/introduction…

The latest installment of my new book, "Bubble Blog: From Outsider to Insider in Silicon Valley's Web 2.0 Revolution." It's 2004 and I'm a member of the blogosphere. This is pre-Web 2.0, but with new "social software" sites like Flickr, it's heating up. cybercultural.com/p/the-early-ye…

Remember when we thought Twitter was the key to democracy? 😂 It's March 2010 and the Paley Center hosts an event in NYC starring Chinese artist and activist 艾未未 Ai Weiwei, Twitter CEO jack, and your humble RWW editor. We're discussing the future of democracy. cybercultural.com/p/046-ai-weiwe…
