World of Ends Public Draft

Doc Searls sent me the link over to the newest work that he and fellow Cluetrain person David Weinberger haveput together. It's called "World of Ends" although I like the subtitle "What the Internet Is and How to Stop Mistaking It for Something Else" better - but that's just me. In any case, some interesting reading, particular if you like/d The Cluetrain Manifesto. Update: 03/08 14:42 GMT by CN : Yeah, this is a dupe of yesterday's story. Everyone point at Hemos and laugh.

The net isn't rocket science

[hugesmile]

All we need to do is pay attention to what the Internet really is. It's not hard. The Net isn't rocket science.

Wasn't the internet invented as part of a military Advanced Research Project Agency, and include a mechanism for redundancy to keep communications going in case of a military attack (often delivered by rockets and missles).

Sounds a lot like rocket science to me...

Aha!

...We can build businesses without having to worry that "Internet, Inc." is going to force us to upgrade, double its price once we have bought in, or get taken over by one of our competitors.

HA! If that's true, then explain what these "Internet, Inc." stock certificates are, that I bought online!

I shall have free internet access FOREVER, here and on my MOON property that I also bought online...
