This London *Times* article concerns a book by net entrepreneur Andrew Keen:
http://tinyurl.com/232nfl The book is called *The Cult of the Amateur*, due out Tuesday. It's relevant to CZ because in the final, "Solutions," chapter, Citizendium is offered as the first example of "a way to balance the best of the digital future without destroying the institutions of the past." I read a review copy a few months ago. I've talked to Andrew Keen for hours. I don't necessarily agree with everything he says--indeed, I think he gets a fair bit wrong--and he all but admits that he's being deliberately provokative. But frankly, I view his book as a breath of fresh air in a sometimes stale debate about the merits and future directions of Web 2.0. It will be interesting to see how the book is received. Don't expect it to be hailed in Silicon Valley. --Larry _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
