I remember how revolutionary the first web was, but then a series of tech companies took it over and “had their way” with it.

The first was Netscape and they added JavaScript to steal the thunder from “Sun” (a long story).

Then Microsoft crushed Netscape by cutting off their air supply, and they piled up all kinds of nasty insecure features with predictable results, they made the web a paradise of viruses, making it largely unusable until Firefox replaced Microsoft, and their web was nicer, and smaller and they left out the viruses.

Google came along and quickly replaced it with Chrome and all was good for a while, until they decided it was just another corporate platform like Android and threw out all the early sites, so boring, they couldn’t make billions of dollars, and now what used to be the web is all but gone.

What’s next? It’s time for The Big Undo. 😀

The Big Undo came to me while I was writing my new profile on Twitter. It immediately reminded me of three things.

1. Karl Anthony Towns, Knicks all-star and world champion center, is called Big Bodega.
2. It sounds like a title of a Michael Lewis book, like The Big Short.
3. And for some reason Queen Latifah singing When You’re Good to Mama in Chicago.

And of course I bought the domain.
