    It’s an internet where every blog is Daring Fireball, where every post looks like Instapaper, where every discussion is led by its rightful leaders, and where ads are considered no better than spam. It’s barren but design-forward, and, at least at the moment, kind of elitist. It’s not clear how it’ll make money. Maybe it won’t! Maybe that’s part of the idea.

    Please send me an add-free notification when this Internet gets going. I want to be there on launch day. Unless, of course, it’s $50 a year per site. That’d be a problem.

    On a serious note, I don’t know how some of these sites could be any more clear about how they make money. They make stuff; you pay for it.
