Our music for the day is Something's Coming, from West Side Story (music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim), which runs through my mind as I recall a late lunch in Camarillo yesterday with Britt Blaser.
...I'm glad Britt finally got me to hold still long enough for him to explain XpertWeb to me. It blew my mind. He also told me Flemming Funch was involved, which is pretty darn exciting, too. The result, I believe, will be a new and open Net-based infrastructure for the distribution of expertise. In what Britt describes as the peer economy , we finally evolve from an old paradigm in which the few intermediate the fewer to a new paradigm where the many intermediate the many. It embodies all the Prime Virtues of the Net, in a simple and practical way. (Doc Searls, 3/16/03) - Trust

"The ability to trust the system and other users is critical. Balancing the privacy of the individual with the need to authenticate users and kick malicious disrupters off the system is a difficult feat."
