“ I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface. ” —Jaron Lanier
When you look for the best in others, you bring out the best in yourself · How can you monetize content when the copy is free? · Would we need 3-Strikes or HADOPI or Digital Economy Bills? · Finding and being found is what will make or break you. · Visual Metaphors Linguistic metaphor, however, only provides a tool for understanding the surface of the infosphere.
Everyone wants to live long, but no one wants to be called old. Matrix B2C partnerships
A clear conscience is far more valuable than money. · I think there are a lot of more or less unfortunate things coming together on this. · The usefulness of information is all about the lens through which we perceive it. · The question is not IF but WHEN this sea change will flood your beach. · In doing so it is possible to come to a realisation of the similarity of each node.
“ We're still in the first minutes of the first day of the Internet revolution. ” —Scott Cook
Save the harvest of the fat years, but don't let it rot. · When access is de facto ownership, how can we still sell copies of our creations? · One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. · Always give people links to relevant, deeper content such as 'great motown techno crossover at [link] last. · Technology is something that is in flux, not fixed, after all it is an '-ology' of 'technis-,' or 'the study of a process'.
In conclusion · Post B2B e-markets · Seize integrated communities · Engineer sexy network effects · and remember: If you are building a house and a nail breaks, do you stop building, or do you change the nail?
