Imagining the Internet

An excellent report, and video clips, with Doc Searls talking about the Web, what is, what it is becoming and why it is such a powerful tool -- in our hands. For example in Imagining the Internet he says

We are profoundly original and what we did with the net, well we invented a thing that isn't a thing that allows us to participate, that isn't a threat,' he said. 'The 'sell' side has been in charge. We have lived inside the walled gardens of large companies. There were things that only large companies could do. Now all of us have access to capital. All of us can blog or tweet worldwide. These are no longer only the provinces of large corporations.

'Along with this comes an increase in responsibility on the part of the individual. How does that person participate with the 'sell' side? This, to me, is the big, interesting question. As consumers become participants in the economic ecosystem and as relationship starts to play in here we're inevitably going to see new tools come into play.'"
