Information Research Weblog

The web works because it is broken and not owned.

Yes there is rubbish on the web but the availability of relevant, accurate information at your fingertips has exploded in ways that even ten years ago most people couldn't have imagined and which have never ever been delivered by "conventional" means.

There were naysayers then, and indeed there still are, but would be cautious about assuming that the collective, applied intelligence of millions of people is more fallable than a small group of experts with the power to confer meaning.

Yours respectfully
