this is kind of ridiculous, predicting eras like it matters. the most imortant thing is empowering the individual and giving us back a meaningful role in the network – that of an autonomous node. in short, getting tired of analysts and various commentators who look at the finger and not where it's pointing

twitter and the lack of context for what passes for conversations on it. agree up to a point but what people call noise is only that in their context. I suspect this has to do with assumption that there must be one right, correct and overriding context, which of course is not true.

as more people in companies start communicating online, the clash between the individual and the company will become more obvious. the only way this goes away is when companies either crack down on such employees or the way companies behave and treat individuals changes. The first one doesn't work, and the latter is nowhere in sigh.

lovely and sadly timeless phrase: It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ……. morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

two points: note the 'because effect' model of making money because of something, not just with something (blogging and social networking falls into that category). individuals are again making better use of the web and its tools than companies. it will take a long time and fundamental restructuring before companies (or any hierarchical organisations) are able to benefit from the web in the same way.

this assumes that I want to read newspapers as my explicit sources of news. They rarely are – normally I only read newspaper articles if linked by other people or if there is some big breaking news, and even then, it's linked from twitter. a paywall will deprive newspaper of online distribution. free content will deprive them of revenue. Seems like time to change business model ground up…

hm, if you own it, it ain't a cloud but your own cupboard. If it's owned, it ain't a cloud but an air filtering station. How about distributed ownership of computational capacity on them intertubes.

another example of why privacy is a policy and behaviour according to that policy, not a system, setting or even a one-off agreement. first step towards people being able to manag their privacy is to be aware of exposures and of what they can and cannot control. bemoaning the fact we cannot control what others say or do about us only calls for DRM or results in paranoia of social interactions. Let's get as much control as we can in pursuit of our autonomy.

if we applied post-consumer era thinking to the internet, the web would have never happened and social web would be but a fantasy. excess can often also mean diversity, abundance and ubiquity, which allows experimentation (low cost barrier) and innovation. Moderation in consumption is a fine thing, but alas, it is most common in those who have experienced scarcity. Is that the way forward?

reminds me of the scare that people's brains wouldn't be able to stand more than 30km/h speed and they'd go insane in the early 20th century. All very scientific, of course. I bet newspapers were accused of taking people away from classical education. And they might have done! And yet civilisation is as close to the doomsday as it has always been according to the doomsayers of every era… no more.
