For my day job my firm does do web development as a key offering. Increasingly I think this is true, the website’s role is shifting dramatically to this:
“Websites As Canonical Sources, Not Just Destinations
Your website still matters. But its job description has changed.
Your website is no longer just a destination. It’s a source. It’s the canonical, structured, well-maintained origin point from which your message gets picked up, interpreted, summarized, and carried elsewhere. The better that source material is, the better it travels.
Think of it this way: Your website used to be the store. Now, it’s also the warehouse. And the warehouse needs to be organized well enough that anyone (human or machine) can find what they need, understand what it means, and carry it somewhere else without losing the plot.”
For individuals: I’m wondering if the #agenicweb means that suddenly something like blogs matter again. Maybe soon they will matter more than the microblogging central sites (IG, FB, X, etc) that subsumed them.
