One thing I love about the web is the sheer number of projects. Especially the collaborative ones.
Etc. etc. etc.
So communal. It is great to see that there are so many people willing to come together to create something bigger than themselves. Yes it does happen in the real world, but people seem less afraid to do it on the net. Yes, you do get some turds in the punchbowl on the net, but they seems easier to filter out.
I like this trend. Maybe someday I will start a project. For now, though, I will be happy to contribute to contribute to others' projects.
