Yossi Vardi, our guest speaker today, with John Palfrey,
executive director of the Berkman Center, at breakfast this morning at
Henrietta’s in Harvard Square. Yossi was both insightful
and jovial, as we talked about common interests in social software. We
discussed how the edge folks will eventually triumph over the hub,
coopting the hubs (who will decline but persist) into supporting
the ever
expanding edges. If this seems a bit too abstract, its because I
can’t give away more of Yossi’s talk today. Personal tip: join us
if you are in the area, we welcome you–and if you
are coming, come early, as we expect a standing room crowd.
The talk will be webcast at this location. More information on the talk is on the Berkman Center website today:
The Berkman Center is proud to present Yossi Vardi, Founding Investor of ICQ, on October 21st, 2003. He will speak on the topic “The Edge Against the Hub: The Struggle for Dominance on the Internet,” at 5:00pm in Hauser 104 on the Harvard Law Campus. (more)
