Today hippies 2.0 are using a different kind of psychedelic drug called social technology. Instead of THC and LSD the drug of choice is PHP, Linux, SQL and others which enables the freedom of expression in the "clouds". The new drugs are as addictive as the old drugs and those that become enlightened from using them understand that it does change one's state of consciousness. The new state of consciousness is the enlightenment of power created by "social groups and communities" igniting changes in philosophy about business as usual and demanding business as unusual.

The same principle applies to the websites that are distinctive because their authors combine content and packaging into a beautiful product that others aspire to recreate. Mega-sites like Facebook, Yahoo!, CNN, and many others designed to keep you moving through content like merchandise racks in a department store will never define the web, because they don’t push it forward. They have the biggest, brightest signs, but can’t match the experience and quality of sites that are the product of craftsmanship and dedication.
