* A lot of potential "Wonders of the Open Web" are sort-of developer tools like Wordpress: Drupal and jQuery are some enormously popular ones, but tons of libraries and frameworks exist that try to make it easier for non-professionals to create web-based content. Wordpress is a stand-out in part because it's both an open-source framework that anyone can use anywhere *and* a hosted one: if the latter were what made it a WotOW, then why not make Blogger, TypePad, DreamHost, and similar hosted services WotOW? If the former were what made it a WotW, then this would seem to open the door for Drupal/jQuery/etc. to become WotW too, though this could lead to making the list look way too techie and developer-focused. -Atul | |||
* What, if anything, '''doesn't''' make sites like Facebook and Twitter a Wonder of the Open Web? It seems like there's a blurry line between what is or isn't a WotW based on the criteria of decentralized/participatory/transparent/hackable. -Atul | |||
