"You know how I know Berner-Lee's dream is dead? When I read a long blog post about how fantastic a tool is, and there is NOT ONE SINGLE HYPERLINK TO THE GODDAMN TOOL."

"Oh, just google it"

"Yes, but google was not present in the WWW design, was it? And then you have to worry about fakes, clones, phishing sites... The new generations turned the web into an interactive newspaper with more ads."

Isn't the first word of the article a link to the tool? Maybe it was added after your comment.
