You can play too 
| | Iowa Electronic Markets. Where to place money on common wisdom about the 2004 Democratic National Election, among other things. |
| | Note the reciprocity between Kerry & Dean in this graph here. Very interesting. |
| | Thanks to JT for the links. |
Said Neo to The Architect
| | David Kirkpatrick in Fortune: |
| | What do these things have in common: the TV show American Idol, Howard Dean's presidential campaign, eBay, and the open-source Linux operating system? They're all manifestations of a key trend of our time: the shift in power away from centralized institutions and toward the individual — from the center to the edge. |
| | I agree. But it's also from the few to the many, from supply to demand, from controlled to networked. And on the far side of each "to," autonomy. The ability to initiate, to form and join associations, to do for themselves. To have and make up their own minds. |
| | Choice. This is about choice. |
Deaniancy
| | On Howard Stern this morning: That's what I like about Dean's so-called meltdown. He has passion. |
| | All major mediations aside, this peer-to-peer shit does work. |

I was listening to NPR this morning and their interview with Kevin Phillips about his new book about the Bushes. Listening to Phillips as he used a variety of words to describe all the connections and relationships the Bush family has, and has had over time, with other people, I was struck by the fact that he never once used the word "network."
We understand the power of networks intuitively, and they're really not new. What perhaps is new is that technology has afforded more people the opportunity to form networks with people they formerly never could.
As for American Idol being symbolic of anything other than poor taste and a perverse desire of people to be humiliated and others to witness that humiliation, well, that's a real stretch.
