Post-internet lament

Fantastic expression of important ideas.

The wonderful, long-running UK website/newsletter b3ta (which, to be fair, is 99% about impish LOLs), runs under the slogan “We’re saving the web… together”, which I always took to allude to this same generalised ethic/resistance (I could be wrong).
That slogan’s from at LEAST 2002; things have long been awry.

(Incidentally, the b3ta newsletter is seeking support, in case anyone’s interested).

I’m reminded also of probably my all-time favourite newsletter, the mighty Need to Know, which was probably what first boingboing to my attention. Could such a brilliant thing exist today?
