EricNorlin and DocSearls are talking about the shift from Internet (presentation) to IDENTInet (dynamic exhange, emphasis mine). PeggyNoonan wrote Sunday about our political choice now between Republicans who she says rely on philosophy and communicate best via speeches and Democrats who more readily rely on policy and communicate best through talking points in interviews. I sum Noonan as a choice between talking at and talking with. Control or conversation. I’ve written about the shift from digital organization to InvitingOrganization, from command-and-control to post-and-host, from network-based dominance to market-based community, and care. A-tipping, tipping, tipping… we go!
What’s more, I’m guessing the identity infrastructure Searls and Norlin want to build into the Net is closely akin to our asking conveners of breakout sessions in OpenSpaceTech to put their names on their papers. Passion bounded by Responsibility. We’ve got a Net full of passion… and we’re just starting to harness it to responsibility. www.wow.
