The web has always been about sharing content. The identity thing is 
something that people tacked on it however they could. The 
original WikiWikiWeb was about content and just content. MediaWiki isn't 
much different, it only has a broader definition of content.

Maybe you still want years and years of shovelfuls and truckfuls and 
planetfuls of different user interfaces that are different from each other 
for the only reason that people want to differentiate each other. If you 
were actually focusing on content you wouldn't want that.

The problem with globalisation as it's been portrayed in news is that it's 
the one-sided story of a group of investors that want to have more power 
than governments. Globalisation is also about people around the world 
being more connected to each other, and it is also other things, but those 
investors precisely want you to confuse the several facets of 
globalisation.
