Re: UKNM: The Digital Heroes of Hypocrisy

I couldn't agree more.  Well done Sam and, probably more importantly, well

done Excite.


I find this whole thread very interesting. Attitudes towards this 'Internet

thing' are at odds with eachother.  One minute everyone loves the Internet

because it is an 'anarchic' medium with no control, allowing freedom of

expression and free from commercial bastardisation.  The next the same

people identify that their knowledge of the Internet is a bit of a personal

money spinner.  


With money comes commercialism, and as we know commercialism is highly

contagious.  So the Internet is changing -- the only reason the Internet is

still around is due to commercialisation.  The fact that you are on this

list, means that you all support the commercial trend.


All I hope is that Sam negotiated a good deal, cos Excite are getting more

exposure than they ever expected!
