My son Bryan has hockey games today and tomorrow, and I get to be game reporter and web scribe for them, as I've been all season. They play; I watch and write up game summaries for the web.

This is the state of the user web experience as we enter 2007. All I have to do is write and press a button, and presto - the whole world can read the game summary (my breathless prose can be found here). Anyone can do it, and lots of "anyones" are.

Anyone today can "write" for the web without having to "program" for the web—the web experience isn't about programming anymore. Dvorak is right: Microsoft FrontPage (the first webbing tool I ever used) is dead, and blogging has killed it.

The King is dead! Long live the BLOG.
