Direct channels give publishers full access to their data streams. A recent O'Reilly customer survey revealed unusual results (e.g. laptops/desktops remain popular ereading devices).

My task for today is to absorb the ‘Intensive Life Support’ manual including all the pharmacological information. In addition to this I want to make a list of procedures and examinations to refresh. The trip that was cancelled last year due to the earthquake and tsunami is back on. I’m going in the summer for a week and a half and will be staying with a host family. I am very excited indeed. procrastinating is human – the trick is to try to incorporate at least some (and hopefully more) stuff into life that inspires, interests or otherwise pleases.
Oct. 2009: Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle answer the question of "What's next for Web 2.0?" in Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On . The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions . Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The pretenders are given the bum's rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other.
O'Reilly Network: What Is Web 2.0
One of the most memorable quotes on the subject of ‘categorization’ and the formulation (or not) of ontologies and taxonomies in information-science (and in relation to web-bookmarking and/or tagging), came from Clay Shirky, when he said: “The Only Group That Can Categorize Everything Is Everybody” – Clay Shirky The statement is both simple and logical at the same time, and this message is reflected again in Shirky’s eminently worthy 2008 book: ‘Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations’ and previously explored in his July 2005 talk at Oxford, ‘Institutions vs Collaboration’ featured on TEDtalks, [ link ]. Shirky’s primary message in these publications has been about how the web has had the effect of increasing collaboration outside of institutional models by lowering ‘coordination-costs’, and in fact how the web has facilitated this by embedding ‘cooperation’ into it’s infrastructure.
You’re It!
Folksonomies: power to the people
In recent times, an unprecedented amount of Web content has begun to be generated through web logs, wikis and other social tools thanks to lower technology and cost barriers. A new host of content creators is emerging, often individuals with the will to participate in discussions and share their ideas with like-minded people. This is to say that this increasing amount of varied, valuable content is generated by non-trained, non-expert information professionals: they are at the same time users and producers of information.Half a decade ago the guys in control of the world-wide-web standards decided to take things to the next level. They called their concept the Semantic Web and it promised to create a whole new world of web usability by tying different web pages together based on meaning and purpose . Finally they could bring rationality and organization to the wild tangle of links we call the web! Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, was one of the main drivers behind this effort. (Maybe the anarchy he created was too much for him.)
