Internet services are living things,

  • they interact with their environment,

  • they consume energy and

  • they live on through their genes: the basic concept of the service itself.

Some examples:

  • Netscape died this month. But its gene still lives in the next generation of Firefox.

  • Napster did die too, but it still has revolutionized the music industry. Court case against it, have been a Pyrus' Victory.

  • Altavista, DMOZ, Second Life might be dying at the moment.

  • Del.icio.us is alive and kicking.

  • Ning.com and Google prosper like Knol is announced(see the Ning based social platform Knolstuff ).

  • babl.nl just is born webosophy babl

Just a Webosoph Idea
