Frankly speaking I do not understand why a blog like yours is getting so many hits , whereas surely something like this written by me or 99 percent of the users in HN can never get such traction. I understand the reason for this is that you are somebody whereas we are nobodies. That’s why I don’t think that outside this niche of people who appreciate this idea it wound really take off. We are not going to wake up tomorrow to see the internet filled with 90s style websites. Those days are gone my friend.

Dunno. HN is actually a powerful "viral engine." Lots of people without an internet following (including me) have had stuff blow up unexpectedly, and it's not world-class research or anything.

Do you not think the author is one of the "99 percent of users" of HN?
