8 ideas that will revolutionize the 21st century (and why blogging isn’t one of them)
A video of this talk by Ben Hammersly is available online and needs to be watched by anyone interested in blogging. Since his PPT is hard to read in the vid, here is “The Octet” as he calls it:
Information wants to be free
Zero distance
Mass amaturization
More is much more
True Names
Viral Behavior
Everything is personal
Ubiquitous computing
He also covers “The Opposition” to each of these items. Lastly, be sure to keep watching through the Q&A portion just in case you missed his talk’s point.
