12. The Personal Web "...a growing set of free and simple
tools and applications... a personal
web — that explicitly supports one’s
social, professional, learning and other
activities via highly personalized
windows to the networked world.
Online material can be saved, tagged,
categorized, and repurposed without
difficulty and without any special
knowledge of how web pages are put
together...creating and distributing
content, to organizing one’s personal
and professional time, to developing a
library of resources that constantly
refresh and update themselves...
