Ooops. Reading Jim Roepcke's weblog, I just realized that Apple crushed a couple of small developers by shipping their own Web browser.

Dan Gillmor's spin on the Two-Way-Web: "Many journalists have yet to discover: in an emerging era of multidirectional, digital communications, the audience can be an integral part of the process." I'm a bit more radical. The idea of "audience" is obsolete. The new medium is read-write. Low-low barrier to entry.

People are really excited about the Harvard thing. That is so cool. Me too. I woke up in the middle of the night, my head buzzing with ideas. Can we do this? How about that? Etc etc. I need to start a website. And a directory.
