Web: To take care of people, to provide a platform for open, low-cost/free access to information, to feed, clothe, house, educate, inform.

Aral's question helps me realize that I do not see the Web as luxury. I see it as a means to distribute the world's riches more efficiently.

If TV were as important to access to government, education, information and human resources @aral then I would say absolutely yes.

@seeitdesign Ah, the idea of the Web as OS. That is in fact another discussion, albeit a very good one to have at some point.

@seeitdesign Everything? That's a little broad, don't you agree? Let's be more specific. Not calling you out, btw. Just the perspective.

What about the poorest of the poor? Each time you build an iOS app only, will you also buy iOS devices for those that need them?

The moment we deny access to information, we destroy the opportunity to take information and turn it to knowledge, much less wisdom.

I prefer collaborative and open development. I believe that fragmentation threatens access, and I don't just mean in terms of ability.

The idea that people are trying to move everything to the Web only is preposterous. Read your history. Know why that's a falsehood.

How about you? Do you hold core Web philosophies true? Or do you think walled gardens, apps-by-device and platform is inspired innovation?

These core philosophies: one web, all devices, all people - are my deepest belief system. Any threat to that feels ominous and divisive.

Deeply concerned about Open Web and Web Standards and the fracturing of our core philosophies via native apps. Isn't it One Web for all?

According to Twitter my location is Moorestown, NJ. See that there? Well, I'm actually in Mountain View, California. Go geolocation! :)

@MurraySilber @Bhooshan @tenbus_uk @mrjsmith I had a great time. One day at home will set me right. I'm on my way there in a few hours :)
@dogwalkblog I do agree if it's all people do, particularly without any relation to their own ideas!
@dogwalkblog I agree to a point. I often tweet quotations that are relevant to the thoughts I'm having. What's wrong with honoring others?

Every bone in my body aches, I have full-on laryngitis. This is a sign I had one heck of a GREAT week in PA/CA at #whartonwebconf and #owc3.
