Star production
Looks like Marc Andreessen, Jim Barksdale and Mike Homer are getting back together to do something called Zodiac Networks. Reportedly a "peer-to-peer content distribution service,", it also "hopes to target major media companies." Which almost seems like a contradiction in terms. Makes sense if this really is what it does:
Not as advertised Dean on New York's snow job. Follow the thinking Dan Bricklin's Cornocopia of the Commons. Good stuff. Follow the money Infrasearch is being sold to Sun. I think it's a Kleiner Kieretsu move. Lookit here. And I don't discredit it. The way John Doerr preserved Netscape's value by transferring it to AOL and Sun (both kieretsu members) was a work of almost entirely uncredited genius. The continuing end of Journalism as Usual I kinda went off after reading this anti-P2P piece in eWeek and ZDNet. No time to make it part of this blog, but hey, that's what links are for. By the way, there's a missing *is* after "P2P" in answer #1. It should read ... P2P is the human architecture of conversation, of society and of the Net that embodies both. The "end to end" nature of the world that wasn't made for IT, but IT has to either embrace or ignore that nature at its own peril. Say what? Here's an osOpinion piece on open source. It contains nothing new. But it comprehends business as little as business often comprehends open source. To wit:
That'll sell open source to humane business folks who are motivated by healthy human passions for goods other than money. Take IBM. Click on the animated GIF on this page to see where IBM comes down on open source.
