Silos @ Doc Searls

The more that you read, the more things you will know.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

A person who

The Internet is reviving the read write culture,

moving us f rom a pa s s i ve consumpt ion

of cu l ture to the k ind o f cu l ture where we crea te and share what we crea te .
