There's reciprocity for you
BigChampagne.com wants to crawl through your record collection on Napster. On the other hand, they're not quite so disclosing (try clicking on that first link).
Here's hoping the paperback does the same in 2001
The Cluetrain Manifesto is Business Week's #6 bestseller for 2000. That's in the 19 February 2001 issue. If you subscribe, it's also on the Web here.
Make that one and a third
I recently discovered that my blog here is one of just four honored by steady links from Jonathan.Weblog: 1/3 of a conversation about the Web (the other 2/3 are Marius and CloseTheLoop). Lot of fine stuff there, including today's pointer to a First Monday piece about why connectivity matters more than content. My own corollary: Because information isn't cargo it's what changes our minds by adding to and molding them. And that stuff mostly comes from other human beings.
So the problem isn't just with conceptualizing human goods as "content," but with conceiving business and the Web as, by default, a shipping system. That's why the significant work is happening safely at the edges, at the most human places on the Web.
