Finally, The Internet As Intended.

Knowledge workers unite! My colleague Dave Witzel has an editorial in CXO saying the wave of online supported collaboration we’re experiencing is no less important to today’s global economy than the industrial revolution was to yesterday’s. It’s definitely worth the read, and I even get some ink:

More accessible and useful information. Not only are we rapidly creating and distributing knowledge, it is becoming more embedded in context and connected to other information. This context and connectedness is called “the semantic web” by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of HTML and much of what we now know as the “world wide web”. As our knowledge becomes more connected with better context more people will be able to find it, understand it and use it. Google already uses the connections between websites to drive their powerful search engine. My colleague Kurt Voelker has invoked a “Moore’s Law” for knowledge where every six months we can expect connectedness, and the value, of knowledge to double.
