Unsung heroes of the web — librarians.

The early web was just this incredible new tool that no one knew yet how it would be used and what it would be used for.

The first Yahoo was a card catalog.

Netscape had a What’s New page with links to interesting stuff.

apple.com was a Unix box under a librarian’s desk. They started adding stuff that was useful to users and developers. No business model, just the librarian approach to information. Circulate it.

I think if a new web is to be born, it’s because it’s again a possibility with the advent of AI.

Listen to librarians, they probably have some good ideas of where to start.
