The clutter on the web is overwhelming. Search has helped us filter
down to only result that are relevant, but it only goes so far.
Hundreds of billions of pixels are merely filling up space, often with
outdated and erroneous information. This might inspire the
algorithm writers at Google to new heights, but for the average user,
the clutter decreases much of the productivity he gained when he got
access to the world wide web.
Some ideas that came to mind to resolve this problem are:
- Webocratic oath - sort of like the Hippocratic Oath
doctor's take. Instead, web publishers, from webmasters to cat
bloggers, would make a commitment to their fellow man. "I shall publish
no crap, regardless of the price of storage."
- Web Day - As with Earth Day, where good citizens make a noble
effort to clean up their home planet, denizens of internet would take a
few hours of their time to remove what is no longer useful. 5 blog
posts that really didn't make any sense. That free home page that came
with your earthlink account. That copy of your department newsletter
from 1998? Let them go. Let them all go. Didn't that feel good?
