Tim Berners-Lee
I have always imagined the information space as something to which everyone has
immediate and intuitive access, and not just to browse, but to create. [...] Furthermore,
the dream of people-to-people communication through shared knowledge
must be possible for groups of all sizes, interacting electronically with as much ease
as they do now in person.
The Mobile Web Initiative is important -
information must be made
seamlessly available on any
device.

Choice
The Long Tail
• sales of the 150,000 titles in a big store account for half of Amazon's book sales• if you aggregate the millions of poorly selling titles on Amazon, they add up to the total sales of all the bestselling books in the physical world put together.
• more people watched more video on YouTube last week than watched the top ten shows on network television.
• Coca-Cola is no longer the most popular soft drink in the country. The most popular soft drink is "other": none of the above.
This curve shows up over and over. It describes travel habits, DVD rentals, and book sales. Give people a choice and the tail always gets longer. Always.
Amazon vs. Barnes and Noble
The Long Tail has been around forever, but only now does it really matter. That's because of several trends working together:
1. Online shopping gives the retailer the ability to carry a hundred times the inventory of a typical retail store.
2. Google means that a user can find something if it's out there.
3. Permission marketing gives sellers the freedom to find products for their customers, instead of the other way around.
4. Digital products are easy to store and easy to customize.5. Digital technology makes it easy to customize non-digital
goods.
The question isn't, "Is this real?" The question is: "What are you doing about it?"
