Shirky On P2P

Posted by Hemos on from the i-hate-that-term dept.

There's an interview with Clay Shirky over at O'Reilly's OpenP2P network regarding P2P. Some of the piece is wordy ruminations over what peer to peer (and dear lord do I hate that term) is, and where it's going - but the most interesting part, IMHO, is the talking about web services and the changing definition of "client" and "server".

    I had a friend that got a promotion because he got to be good friends with the guy that owned the boat next to his in the marina.

    Would that be considered "Pier to Pier Networking"?
