Even in 2004, the web sucked?

So, I was a little bored and pulled up Wiby, a search engine focused on the old web and old websites. I clicked the "surprise me..." option a couple of times for a random page, and this popped up: "Why The Web Sucks (You Just Don't Know It)" by Sean Barrett.

Even back in 2004, people had a lot of the same problems with the idea behind web apps as they do now. It's a really interesting time capsule of a read, but so are some of the links scattered throughout. You'll need the Wayback Machine for some of them to be in-context or working, but it can be worth it if you enjoy reading about tech history.
