than with the world.

2. “ It is only when they go
wrong that machines
remind you how
powerful they are. ”
—Clive James

3. It is the spirit that survives.
· The culture of participation is spreading very quickly.
· You will continue to receive a lot of stuff for free but yes,
you can indeed make a payment if you like what I do.
· Visual Metaphors Linguistic metaphor, however, only
provides a tool for understanding the surface of the
infosphere.
· Computers and digital communications are the most
direct expressions of this revolution.

4. Don't put gold buttons on a torn coat.
Facilitate best-of-breed synergies

5. Only stretch your foot to the length of your blanket.
· Control has now shifted to the Users and that's a good
thing.
· Closed and centralized ecosystems are becoming very
expensive and thus hard to maintain
· The leading apps include bookshelf, stanza which I
have, ereader, feedbooks etc here is a good list.
· We might very well use the same slogan: This network,
"it's the only one we've got.

6. “ What the country
needs are a few labor-
making inventions. ”
—Arnold H. Glasow

7. You will not dare mistreat the face you see in the
morning.
· Why not license Google and Facebook et al and the
ISPs in much the same way?
· Next generation advertising and branded content,
packaging, bundling, flat rates etc.
· Maybe not for fiction, though but for business books I
can imagine it.
· But equally, when considering a new ontology between
human and non-human agents it is important to note
where common context exists.

8. In conclusion
· Generate value-added channels
· Target rss-capable web-readiness
· Transition citizen-media folksonomies
· and remember: If things are getting easier, maybe
you're headed downhill.

9. Thank You
