Bill Thompson is getting more and more odd in his articles I think. Maybe hes running out of things to say. I think he ignores what people actually want and comments on what they should want as well as looking too much into minor issues to draw some sort of conclusion which doesnt fit.

Exactly, I really don't know what he is on about. Ok, small independent sites may be harder to find, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. The web is the same as it was. It's just not populated by anoraks as much as it used to be. He complains of a lack of 'public service ethos'. The web is awash with forums where people help each other out on topics I've never even heard of. He conveniently forgets to mention Wikipedia. Usually (not always) a surprisingly accurate encyclopedia that is largely generated by its users. If that is not a public service ethos, I don't know what is.
