What the Internet Really Is.
_POSTEDON Mar 07, 2003 - 10:00 AM
Freedom of SpeechDoc Searls and David Weinberger have done it again. The same guys that brought us the The ClueTrain Manifesto now bring us their newest writing, The World of Ends.


They describe for all the clue-less managers, telephone companies, FBI and DOJ folks, Movie and Recording Industry moguls, that the value of the Internet is not push-marketing like television, or censoring and regulating to protect business models.

Summary? The value of the Internet lies in being able to connect person A at one end to person B at the other.


No one owns it.
Everyone can use it.
Anyone can improve it.
