To a collector of curios, the dust is metadata.

Business is a conversation because the defining work of business is conversation - literally. And 'knowledge workers' are simply those people whose job consists of having interesting conversations.

Metadata liberates us, liberates knowledge.

How we organize our world reflects not only the world but also our interests, our passions, our needs, our dreams.

The Internet is a medium only at the bit level. At the human level, it is a conversation that, because of the persistence and linkedness of pages, has elements of a world. It could only be a medium if we absolutely didn't care about it.

Your organization is becoming hyperlinked. Whether you like it or not. It's bottom-up; it's impossible.

It's not what you know, and it's not even who you know. It's how much knowledge you give away. Hoarding knowledge diminishes your power because it diminishes your presence.
