Nah. I grew up in the small Web. That's how Google got powerful, by having a better index than anybody else, and exposing their cache so that even if something that ranked highly went down, you could still access it. The small Web doesn't work at any scale, because that's not how people work. Myspace, Friendster, and Facebook started smallish. One remains and it's huge. Do you remember Foursquare? How they competed with Yelp, Facebook, and Google, until all three just did their smallish product, but better?

Personal home pages are sweet and nostalgic. But they need to be indexed somewhere or they're only as big as the network of people who the page creator can give their card to.

We need to embrace the big Web and start steering it. Running away won't help, and it doesn't solve the problems that the big sites solved.
