Nice little article but I could hardly disagree more with the headline.

The small web is not for poor men and women. It's for the rich. Those who are rich in culture, intelligence, curiosity, engagement...

The existing "web" is for the technologically poor. It's a chavvy, shallow plastic shit-filled trench, a ghetto where thieves and pimps run free, and good ideas die like dogs - to somewhat paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson. I can't see anything of value left there, and cannot imagine how anyone would equate leaving it behind with being poorer.
