Web 2.0 Summit 08 shares web 2.0 lessons learned with the public
This year’s Web 2.0 Summit is a who is who of the internets. What I find particularly cool is this year’s theme: Sustaining, applying and expanding the web’s lessons.

Launched: www.IWorkForTheInternets.com
I’ve mentioned it before: I work for the Internets. Together with two co-conspirators, we also set up an on demand print store. More importantly, though, I just got the website to go with the shirt: www.iworkfortheinternets.
Admittedly, it’s all still very much under development - so far I’ve just taken the stylesheets from my other domain […]

The Atlantic just ran an article asking “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” which two friends forwarded independently - always a clear indicator that it might be a good idea to actually read the article. (Thanks Puja, thanks Burkhardt!) And The Atlantic author Nicholas Carr does raise some important points.
