Damn, now I have to buy one. It’s not the printing out of the online freebie that hurts… it’s finding a stapler big enough to put it together!
I’m fascinated by reputation and digital identity, multiple identies and the values which are potentially created by both.

Re free downloads: I have a white paper on Reed’s Law and how multiple identities make the long tail just a little longer, which I’m presenting at BlogTalk on March 4.

The question I struggle to answser is: Is there more value created in having one consistent id which carries your reputation where ever you go, or more in the additionaly value to Reed’s Law which emerges when you allow your ID to mean different things among different communities?

Also, it’s pretty easy to convert PDFs to Kindle-mats. I wish I had a (free) kindle or sony reader… yay shiny things. Not the same, though.

Reading now…

also, was talking to the publisher of YUP the other day, he’s really cool! He seems to have a great handle on the future, and is doing a good job steering a nice path between nonprofit and trade.

looks good after the first few pages!

p.s. please send me that table of contents???
