Update: This poll is now closed – we’ll post some results once we’ve analyzed them – thanks for helping!
We’re running a short survey to find out what the phrase “open web” means to web developers. What does that phrase mean to you?

It’s an anonymous survey and will probably take you less than a minute to respond to.
Since it’s a survey that only allows you to use about 200 characters you’ll have to be short and simple. And we don’t want to poison people by offering suggestions – we’re curious about people’s honest responses.
We’ll post a summary if we get enough results.
Thanks!


an open web is one in which the standards and protocols of the infrastructure, interfaces, and display of information is open to the scrutiny of any individual or party – unencumbered by commercial, political, or special interest entities – in such a way as to foster rapid, progressive innovation of the web, independent of the content of the information being transmitted or displayed.
Open web means both no vendor locking (open to competition) and a proper set of robust standards (open to sharing)
that the predominance of main roads are not owned by anyone. that the pipelines aren’t tightened to restrict and stand on individual ability and opportunity for the few at the cost of basic opportunities of the many. that the market is open and the opportunity is not restricted unfairly. that the infrastructure is common even if the buildings are not.
Would be great to know the outcomes of these short surveys you are doing.
Yep, working on that.
