Will Wired Claim the 'Web Is Dead'?

Well this will be bold, if it’s true: Gawker says Wired Editor Chris Anderson is preparing a web article for the tech magazine that will declare, “The Web is Dead.” Ryan Tate writes, “Anderson is expected to argue that more tightly controlled corners of the Internet, especially iPad and iPhone apps, are gradually supplanting the open Web as means of publishing and online networking”—an argument that others, like Jeff Jarvis, have made. Anderson refused to confirm whether the article was in the works.
