I tried to post these in a comment on your blog about a week ago, and I couldn't get it to work (the Captcha wouldn't load), and now I can't decide where to post them as a comment... so I'm just emailing you all.

Thing #1: Kevin Kelly's 2007 EG talk (via TED): http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/kevin_kelly_on_the_next_5_000_days_of_the_web.html

You'll like this, I think. The Future!! The next 5,000 days of the web will not be "the web, only better", just like the past 5,000 days were not just "TV, only better". .... We, and everything, will all be connected in a giant web, where the price you pay for instant info and connectedness is... no privacy, much transparency. Very interesting. (Plus, the guy co-founded WIRED magazine and was its exec editor for a long time, and has done lots of other cool stuff... and doesn't have a college or university degree!)


Thing #2: http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/02/anatomy-of-connect.html

David Recordon seems like someone to look into more. [Note: for a real kick, click the 'listen' link to the right of the post title in the link above... it's by far the best computer text reader I've ever heard; really amazing.]

[Other note: O'Reilly Radar is a great blog and worth watching, too, not that you aren't already overloaded with content, I'm sure.]

    Here's two other links for you... (maybe I should start blogging for real somewhere?):

    Thing #3: Into collaboration? How about 15 million Kenyans with mobile phones, basically 'on call' to perform microtasks in exchange for micropayments?

    http://blog.wired.com/business/2009/03/africa-awaits-y.html

    Is crowdsourcing-for-profit still in the spirit of collaborative networks? Or is it exploitative? Or both? Or just cool?
    (The company mentioned in the WIRED post: http://txteagle.com/)


    Thing #4: Related to the above – a great blog (styled as a "log" – oh yeah, that's where 'blog' comes from) of examples of crowdsourcing in use:
    http://crowdsourcinglog.com/

    Fascinating stuff! Warning: huge potential time sink.


    P.S. I tried to post this in Safari, and yet again ended up with the no-show Captcha image (it just says Loading...). If this shows up, it means I had success using Flock.
