Where is the internet going and who is in charge?

With the growing participation of the general public in the web, in wiki's, blogs, youtube etc, is the web really becoming more democratic? I'm concerned that there are abuses. For example any business can write an article about itself on BigWiki.biz and when I'm getting onformation from there, it is not always obvious what was the source. Was it a good citizen of the world who is writing honestly, or was it a rival company deliberately criticising a competitor, if it is too favourable, then I'm concerned that it was possibly just the original firm itself?

Hi walter, I am joe from India. I am a film restoration artist. I am very eagar to meet you. When are you going to come to India?

Hallo Walter,

Deine Seite ist wirklich fein. Mal was Anderes. Ist schon eine anderssprachige Version in Sicht?
