Is the Web dead like Wired magazine says?

Very interesting piece in my stalwart Wired Magazine about how use of the Internet is increasingly moving away from browser-based "pull" activities on websites that Google can index, and towards app-based "push" activities.  The Web is not the same as the Internet - it's just one use of the Internet.

This is not a trivial distinction. Over the past few years, one of the most important shifts in the digital world has been the move from the wide-open Web to semiclosed platforms that use the Internet for transport but not the browser for display. It's driven primarily by the rise of the iPhone model of mobile computing, and it's a world Google can't crawl, one where HTML doesn't rule..

As somebody who works through the Internet, rather than with it or in it, I'm not really able to comment on the validity of the analysis, but I find it very interesting. >>>>>>.

Also interesting is this new initative from Ecademy, the social network where I've been active since 2004:  The purpose of the Ecademy Digital School is to train members and prospective members to become an Ecademy Digital Coach (EDC).  >>>>.  Fair play to Thomas and the crew, they've been at it a long time and Thomas is absolutely obsessed with it all. But can they deliver?
