I hope he finds out about the Indie Web movement:
Quote:
> Whatever the reason, you're done with sharecropping your content, your identity, and your self.
> Our online content and identites are becoming more important and sometimes even critical to our lives. Neither are secure in the hands of random ephemeral startups or big silos. We should be the holders of our online presence.
A good introductory article on the Indie Web movement appeared in Wired:

People working on this include Ward Cunningham, inventor of the first wiki, c2.com.
