In ref to Rogers' recent request for info re web 2 - did you pick up
the last para in the Time's Person of the Year article?:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html
Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth
trying, it could fail. There's no road map for how an organism that's
not a bacterium lives and works together on this planet in numbers in
excess of 6 billion. But 2006 gave us some ideas. This is an
opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not
politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to
citizen, person to person. It's a chance for people to look at a
computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who's out there looking
back at them. Go on. Tell us you're not just a little bit curious.
From the Dec. 25, 2006 issue of TIME magazine
regards
Linda
