I hope not. The idea of having an alarm-type clock running 24/7 and spewing
out feeds and excerpts upon arrival scares the cr*p out of me. What has the
Web come to? How will it ever be indexed? Only when diluted owing to such
tools will people lose hope and financial incentives. The Web will then
reach a darker age where small sites have little or no chance of earning
visibility.

Enjoy the Web while it's in its golden age. No tiered traffic and varying
tariffs. No sponsored ads and links in information discovery gateways (well,
not dominating them anyway). Better reliability among sources as well, not
to mention little duplicability.

The Net is being commercialised and its value goes rock bottom. The
borderline between original or bot-driven is rising too. Thanks to the most
widespread O/S, DDOS attacks and SPAM will continue to rise in terms of
volume, too. It's the only way for fraudsters and content spammers to thrive
in this game. The more filthy traffic, the better the dough.

Okay. 'Nuff ranting. *smile*

Best wishes,

Roy

PS - John, that phpBB spam is driving me mad. So much spam and so quickly it
floods in. And judging by the trend, nothing's getting any better. E-mail
SPAM doubled as well and my CAPTCHA got cracked last month.
