applications that build on the ideological
and technological foundations of Web

  just make it worse)

• Admit your
  shortcomings

• Work openly towards an
  explanation and
  legitimate solution
Be Personal
• Don't shout (?). Don’t
  be extra formal.
• Speak like yourself –
  and join the

  give people something
  they can relate to.
• Most importantly: Be
  yourself
