The web has always been the least impressive internet service. (Usually, "colorful" and "interactive" are the exact opposites of "interesting" to me.)

And Wired's web team does nothing to improve the situation with their bizarre website.

I wonder why this topic keeps coming up in the past few weeks. At least bloggers found that blogs have ruined the web (I, II), so there's that. - The web can be made bearable by using RSS (which is repeatedly cited even in German political newspapers as "a solution". I wonder what happened...), but that's limited.

One of the problems I see is that we "tech people" lost our connection to "web devs" long ago. They don't understand why we fear their new shiny JavaScript toys. Everyone who does not misuse his web browser as an "embedded operating system" is a caveman to them. I am randomly lurking in a larg(ish) web dev forum and it is even worse than I described it.

I surely hope it will all implode soon.
