With the old economics destroyed, organizational forms perfected for industrial production have to be replaced with structures optimized for digital data. It makes increasingly less sense even to talk about a publishing industry, because the core problem publishing solves — the incredible difficulty, complexity, and expense of making something available to the public — has stopped being a problem.

Upgrading one's imagination about what is possible is always a leap of faith.

Egalitarianism is possible only in small social systems. Once a medium gets past a certain size fame is a forced move.

So forget about blogs and bloggers and blogging and focus on this - the cost and difficulty of publishing absolutely anything, by anyone, into a global medium, just got a whole lot lower. And the effects of that increased pool of potential producers is going to be vast.

Behavior is motivation filtered through opportunity.

Society doesn’t need newspapers. What we need is journalism.

More interesting than thinking about whats possible in 10 years is thinking whats possible now but that no one has built.
