As author of "Everything is Miscellaneous," Weinberger shows audiences that we have only begun to understand how the Web is transforming business and the world around it.

In "The Cult of the Amateur," Keen aims to show how today's Internet is killing our culture and assaulting our economy. - PICNIC'07

waste of my time

[Ibalon2012]

the guy on the right is on the take lol guilty as charged

[glamoraglam]

in my opinion - they both have important concerns but the cream will eventually rise to the top - and we web surfing addicts will return to the interesting and ethical sites as the info-commercial sites dwindle .

[dollaresque]

I think both sides of the issues are valid, but personally hope that none of this is a means of getting some sort of regulation of the web and what people are able to say. Market & community forces should allow best (most unbiased) sites to rise to the top while least ethical (most biased) sites would be revealed as such. Consequently the hope is that the firms employing such sites will be plagued by public relations scandals, etc...

It becomes this kind of yelling of opinions which are not meant to be reflected by others. Nothing personal!

[teemuruskeepaa]

Debate is almost impossible when the members consider the audience. It becomes impossible to stay on subject because the personal rank grows over the subject matter.

the industries have to be transparent with the reviewer or the reviewers do not have the info to do a proper assessment of the product pretty simple for most people .
