Of Mice and Markets

Of Mice and Markets:

Zeldman:

In the short run it's going to be hell, just as the browser wars and their lack of support for common standards were hell. But it is the short run….

When I see fragmentation, I remind myself that it is unsustainable by its very nature, and that standards always emerge, whether through community action, market struggle, or some combination of the two. This is a frustrating time to be a web designer, but it's also the most exciting time in ten years. We are on the edge of something very new. Some of us will get there via all new thinking, and others through a combination of new and classic approaches.

Well written, well said.
