Has the #web changed your life? In what way(s)?
Are there features that are particularly life-saving, or very convenient to you? (e.g., WebRTC for live videoconferencing, or Web Payments API for ecommerce, etc.)

I want to write a @w3c article at the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the release of the World Wide Web into the public domain, for general use and at no cost, by CERN on 30 April 1993.

Any insight from the fediverse to complement our own research is welcome! Thanks in advance! <3

@koalie @w3c The bit of technology that makes the web overwhelming impactful in our lives is <a>, the link. Without hyperlinking, the web would not be the web. The link is everything.

I remember how infuriating was to encounter Instagram and it’s gilded cage: it does not even allow to paste urls in comments. Instagram, and apps like it, destroy the way the web works. @jensimmons @koalie @w3c

@wtrmt @jensimmons @koalie @w3c this walled garden approach is the reason MSN and AOL failed but we've allowed Facebook in it's now many faces to get away with it. Posts, tweets and toots are now almost transient and the humble URL is an after thought or actively fought against.
