The Web of Generosity, or Lack Thereof
Tanya Rabourn reports on David Weinberger’s keynote at SXSW.
The short version of “Why the Web Matters” is basically:
- Every link an individual makes to another site is an act of selflessness
- We are at our best when we are generous
- The Web is all about linking
- So, the Web is based on an architecture of generousity — it is us at our best
(Insert studio audience “Awww” sound here.) If that’s true, I’ve been a little selfish lately, which I apologize for. Recently, I’ve just had trouble finding things I want to link to and talk about. This may be a good thing because what isn’t happening in the digital is made up for in the personal. There is big news to come. In the meantime I offer this humble contribution (Link removed until I develop my photo library pages.) to Photo Friday.
