One Web Day 2008

Wildflower in Cooper-YoungHappy One Web Day 2008, Memphis!

If there's one thing that excites me about the Web and its potential power in Memphis is Thesis 7 of the Cluetrain Manifesto's 95 Theses:
Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy.

Subvert, say, Memphis' particularly steep hierarchies of power and wealth, or better, the hierarchy upon which those hordings are built -- the hierarchy of communication.

What are hierarchies of communication good for? Bullshit.

So One Web Day, imho, is about Freedom from Bullshit. And that makes me happy.

pretty ironic that one web day finds me with a blaster worm and multiple adware invaders on my home computer.
