I'm inclined to believe that people need a champion or a deeply-seeded cause to invest enough into a technology to fuel its survival. The problem with the lazyweb is, well, it’s lazy.

As I tweeted just now, I was really pleased that you were on top of this, but ... you named it?! That's "rightly-coupled"! One young turk observed ... well, let's say he wasn't enamoured. I referred him to Arno Penzias ... familiar with his notion of "setting up to fail"? Idea is that with little investment of ego and just enough $ to launch you watch and if the product crash.burn.die NOP *shrug* you then proceed to read the thing's guts. In my words: a "failed" project can be invaluable. The way some folk went gung.ho at a moment's notice while others hung back ... I don't want to turn everything into a social-psych experiment, but as an anthropologist/ethologist/student of human nature, these proceedings are pretty sweet! and the finest of fortune to you in '08, sir --bentrem p.s. In exchange with Mr. Sifry I likened the dynamic on Twitter just then to what was typical of PowWow ?what? 8 or 9 years ago ... except there's no Hal to give us text-to-speach. If you've got a PowWow story, I'd appreciate that. It's on my list of "why did these fail?", alongside "Realm - the MPOG" and (most recently) Apple's ebook (15 years ago?) cheers Well well!
