I just looked at my WordPress dashboard and noticed that Marc Canter had linked to me. Curious, I clicked to see what Marc (who is always interesting) had been up to.
Wow! What a nice surprise. Not only did he describe me as one of the:
Major players and people to watch and listen to:
which is always great for the ego :-).
But he has written an awesome series of posts about the emerging trends in data, architecture, and users.
Here is the post I read first, but it is part of a series entitled “How to build the Mesh”.
I won’t repeat Marc’s lengthy discussion here, just to say – go and read it.
Part 1 is Social Graphs and Groups
Part 2 is Persistent, Ubiquitous Content
Part 3 is Shared Structured Content Servers
Part 4 is on the way.
Marc is not only, together with Chris Messina and Tantek Çelik, a really focused advocate of open, user-centric, web services. He is also a brutally honest, yet nice, guy.
