What Could Have Been and A Cleaning

Imagine if a consumer level internet existed during the 1980’s. There would have been websites dedicated to The Porky’s Trilogy. Or even worse, Zapped.

How about a Facebook Group called The Go-Go’s? Or a Boy George Chat Room?

But wait, I bet all this crap exists.

Seriously.

I mean, I’m being all judgmental. I should take a break here. We all know there is a Joni Mitchell Web Site and it’s doing very well. Right?

And The Monkees certainly have an online presence. How long before everything is finally posted? The Book of Kells? All of Rumi? Recipes in Cuneiform?

I already have a hard time sifting through all the web pages that are obsolete. Who is going to clean up these pages? The tax rules for 2003? The outdated Bobby Sherman schedules? The unverified images of Nancy Regan’s shoes?

Rumors, lies, data, raw data, refined data, porn and the weather all mixed together. It is disorganized and becoming harder to use.

A Greatest Hits of the Web with serious personal filters is what we need now. With a unique editor deciding what is just right for you. It has to be cleaned up.
