I am interested in discussing how the quickly growing and ever-expanding informational forest can be made easier to navigate through and more "interconnected", through the use of effective networks, creative commons, etc.
I am also interested in sharing and discussing my upcoming project of a social/cultural commentary website authored by 2 people (including myself) who would freely publish their views and comments on art, literature and current social/political/cultural issues. The project would take the form of a weblog, but each record would be in a form of a well-structured essay. This, I believe, can be the future of network-based independent media and journalism.
