As human activities evolve, one important aspect of our shared brilliance in adaptation and innovation is consolidation, simplification.
As we develop new ways of working and problem solving, we are sometimes able to take stock, observe patterns, see commonalities, and unify some things.
By this strategy, we achieve more with fewer resources and are thereby strengthened, releasing energies for a further exploration phase.
With regard to the web, the time has come for such a consolidation.

you got my admiration, for this and your previous (hughtrain-)post. in fact I was spending the last days thinking about writing a _personal_ manifesto for myself until the year passes by (though I’ld have called it rather my ‘personal list of steps for improvement of my professional life’ than a manifesto). but I wonder if maybe it’s about time to break the personal scope, and try changing my environment for the better. hmmmm.…
