Our music for the day is Something's Coming, from West Side Story (music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim), which runs through my mind as I recall a late lunch in Camarillo yesterday with Britt Blaser. He drove up from his hotel in Santa Monica and I drove down from Santa Barbara. Even in the rain it was a good trip. Plenty of time for us to think in both directions.
I'm glad Britt finally got me to hold still long enough for him to explain XpertWeb to me. It blew my mind. He also told me Flemming Funch was involved, which is pretty darn exciting, too. The result, I believe, will be a new and open Net-based infrastructure for the distribution of expertise. In what Britt describes as the peer economy, we finally evolve from an old paradigm in which the few intermediate the fewer to a new paradigm where the many intermediate the many. It embodies all the Prime Virtues of the Net, in a simple and practical way.
More later. First I have to take that walk.
