#2And apparently the old web is filled with sarcasm and spite.

#3daark. I get the uncertainty and fear of the 'seedy' nature of G+ and rise of the corporate platforms...but seems like more of us trying things out, learning, so we can maybe direct change/influence the evolution of the platforms....

#4Is the new web better at UX than this? That was painful to look at.

#5Sounds just like the old web, if you were blind and went to a Flash fullscreen website.
As much as I like the ways that sites like G+ are trying to push the envelope, if you're handling data that was created by or belongs to others it's more important to fit into the greater data ecosystem than to stand out...

#6I'm a member of a forum for graduates of one of the schools I went to. In 2007 it was a vibrant and active forum, growing steadily, and straining its hosting account, which constantly had to be expanded.
At some point, around 2009, most of the members of this forum got Facebook accounts. That forum is now completely dead.
Facebook took all the oxygen out of the site, and it seems like a lot of other sites.
Now very mainstream people seem to think of Facebook as "the internet" and they just hang out there. Some of the bigger sites are doing ok, still, of course.
But at least for that forum, its audience is gone.
To a person, the members of the audience say they love it, and many of them say they hate facebook because "its so impersonal." On the forum they were able to share more private things with closer friends.
I think they would rather hang out on the forum, but there isn't the critical mass anymore... simply because Facebook is more addictive.
It has gotten into some sort of a gamification, or addiction loop, in these peoples heads, it seems.
I think the web is going to undergo a radical change in the next 5 or so years.

header there is a „ body { visibility: hidden; } ” later
getting unset by a script that the platform owners want you to run.
To be fair to Google, that sounds like a fairly standard clickjacking prevention mechanism. It's necessary to provide protection to browsers that don't support X-Frame-Options.

What kind of change? Further toward a centralized, monopolistic, Facebook-esque service or an implosion of that model?

#10i remember the old web, a web without RSS or ATOM feeds.
