The Archive of the Antiweb Mailing List

What is Antiweb?

To quote the New York Times:

[Antiweb member Levi Asher] has also found support among the members of an underground e-mail list called "Anti-Web" who served as de facto editors during the building of Queensboro Ballads. The by-invitation-only listserve came together last year to protect self-publishing artists on the Web from the tidal wave of major commercial efforts now flooding the Net.

The Antiweb mailing list was created by Malcolm Humes (mal2@mal.net) to discuss aspects of the World Wide Web.

Antiweb was recently featured in a series of four articles by Anne Pierce at Suite 101. Each of these articles profiles various Antiweb members and their work. You can read:

• Antiweb IV (preview if you're not a member of Suite 101)

If you join Suite 101 (it's free), you can read:

• Antiweb I
• Antiweb II
• Antiweb III
• Antiweb IV

After reading all of the above, you should have a good idea of what Antiweb's about. If you are interested in joining Antiweb, please contact Malcolm Humes.
