Back to Web 1.0 for Cash?

Liz Liz Strauss recently asked another thought provoking bloggy type question called; “$10MIL, Luxury Home, Would You Go Back to Web 1.0?” and of course I just had to answer that one. And no, I’m not going to tell you what my answer was, if you wish to find out then head over to the post and you’ll find it there and while you’re at it, why don’t you leave your own answer as well?

Web 1.0 refers to the state of the World Wide Web, and website design style before the Web 2.0 craze, and included most websites in the period between 1994 and 2004. It is important to note that “Web 1.0″ is a retronym. That is to say that it has been retroactively named only after the introduction of the term “Web 2.0″, and has very loosely defined boundaries. For the most part websites were a strictly one-way published media, similar to the Gopher protocol that came before it.

So would you do it? Would you take the money and accept that the fact that the Internet was just a one-way street for you, a read-only situation? Let her know what you think and I’ll be over there myself, looking forward to seeing your answer.
