“The Web We Lost”

Send to Kindle

The big web story today is about how Instagram just removed its API from Twitter. My old friend, Dave Winer (also one of the great web pioneers of the last decade or so) wrote a great post about it. I drew the cartoon in response to Dave.

True enough, most “civilians” don’t give a damn about all this API talk, as long as they can post their fart videos wherever, they’re happy.

But this stuff matters.
