> why not let anyone contribute to any webpage?

I can think of a few reasons.

haha true, I think the thing I am most after with this experiment is a more collaborative "alive" feeling outside of social networks. but of course we don't want to grant everyone write access to every part of every page.
I still like it. Even if it is flawed I totally agree that the web could be so much more than social networks. Where to start?
Unfortunately, if this succeeds, you'll need to figure out a way to prevent (or mitigate) spam and other abuse. It's an awful problem, and I'm not sure if there's any way to really deal with it. A PGP-style web-of-trust might work, but that has its own downsides.
