"We got to be #1 because we believed -- and still do -- in the power of the Web to transform lives, and brands."
The power of "the Web?"
I believe that the Internet can transform lives (and brands) but only with a more modern and specialized standard presentation layer. The current layer, HTML, is little more than a collection of kludges; a protocol originally designed for scientific documentation. HTML was designed to be a human readable, near 5th generation language, suitable for hobbyists accustomed to the limitations of the computing world of the 1960's. As the abuse of the protocol expanded, extentions were included to fullfill the desires of the populus to change hypertext into what equates to interactive, fully free-form print. There's little to be done about this now, as much of the online world has solidifed itself within the confines of a (now) unnecessarily human-readable, bloated document formatting language used to awkwardly simulate user interfaces. If you believe in HTML, and have blindly accepted its precepts because you were introduced to the Internet during the commericialized boom of 1994, DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH.
THANKS,
