The Web

This little guy quietly spun this masterpiece while I was snoozing on the couch below him last night – and he got me thinking about The Web and what the word really means these days. Perhaps I’ve been in the entrepreneurial game for too long now, but it’s beginning to mean:

  • Design
  • User interfaces
  • SEO
  • SEM
  • Traffic
  • Competitive analysis
  • Bounce rates,
  • Return rates,
  • Content optimization
  • etc…etc…

…when it really means one thing:

COMMUNICATION

Whether it’s buyers communicating with sellers or mining the worlds collective knowledge via search or blog trackbacks or inline comments – it’s all just new ways for us all to communicate. Communication is the web’s raison d’être. It’s really that simple.

My name is Mark Maunder. I've been blogging since around 2003 when I started on Movable Type and ended up on WordPress which is what I use to publish today. With my wife Kerry, I'm the co-founder of Wordfence which protects over 5 million WordPress sites from hackers and is run by a talented team of 36 people. I'm an instrument rated pilot and I fly a Cessna 206 along with a 1964 Cessna 172 in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa but live in the US these days. I code in a bunch of languages and am quite excited about our emerging AI overlords and how they're going to be putting us to work for them.
