   TIL the WWW originally had a logo, and nothing else is better at expressing the naive academic techno-optimism from the 1990s than a design that looks hand-coded in PostScript and that slogan at the top.

     @hisham_hm Robert had a totally different idea about the web and wasn't naive at all.

     @rigo @hisham_hm Hmmmm, I think "Let's Share What We Know" pretty well covers how I use the World Wide Web...

     There's a lot of fascinating personal sites out there!

     @rigo @hisham_hm @alcinnz yeah the www pretty much achieved what it set out to do... and then corporations subverted it all.
