I ask because I think that Miami is a wonderful analogy to understanding where the internet is going. How's that? Well, Miami is a wonderful dynamic and prosperous community. Up until 1977 English was the predominant language in Miami. Today the dominant language is Spanish. There are many sections of Miami that speak only Spanish. I grew up speaking Spanish so I have always felt very comfortable in Miami. How does this relate to the internet? Well the dominant method of communication on the internet has been TEXT. The internet version 1.0 has been a text based medium. However, like Miami that is all changing.

Without good, relevant content the Internet would be nothing. Many webmasters agree that relevant good quality content is king.
