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

Metadata liberates us, liberates knowledge.

Don't think of the Internet as a broadcast medium...think of it as a conversational space. Conversation is the opposite of marketing. It's talking in our own voices about things we want to hear about.

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.

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.

This is an awesome time to be a knowledge seeker, no better time, but it's also the best time in history to be a complete idiot.
