Technorati

So we see that blogs are now very available all web2.0, and - accelerating - we've a way to catalog, tag, and gather for consideration a presentation of selected blogs. This is exciting. In these few weeks, I have certainly come to understand that many of the connections I imagined as possible in-the-future are already here for our considerate and intelligent use. The element of acceleration is very much my feeling here as I reflect that these web2.0 tools place within our grasp truly multi-dimensional reach for interrelating ideas, for binding in mutual relation various currents of thought. Vannevar Bush, in his 1945 essay, "As We May Think," anticipates a study machine he calls the memex. One important capability of the memex is the capacity to juxtapose for study purposes a selection of documents, sources, streams of information. When Tim Berners Lee wrote his program World Wide Web - and it was in 1990 - he practically realized some of the imaginings of Ted Nelson and others for directly linking one study element with any number of others. Now, in web2.0 - in Technorati and these other applications - we are surely advancing on an accessible path.

Here is my first Technorati work:
