Quote of Note: Mike Stagg Quote of Note: Mike Stagg: ""Whoever builds a fiber to the home network is going to have a monopoly - whoever builds it. As a practical matter, I am opposed to monopolies. But I would much rather have a monopoly that I can touch and see and feel and affect, which is [Lafayette, Louisiana municipal utility operator] LUS." Mike Stagg, co-perpetrator of the Lafayette Pro-fiber blog, quoted here." (Via isen.blog.) 8:01:31 PM     trackback []

Network Intelligence Jonathan Schwartz's Network Intelligence does a nice job of capturing a the current state of the world for distributed data gathering and aggregation via the 'Net, blogs, cellphones, etc. Better yet, it gives a sense of the speed of change. The key here is obviously the network. It's one thing to create or capture some data or an idea, its another for it to be shared so easily. This is why blogs and wikis are so new and different. 8:01:23 PM     trackback []
