This essay is interesting (and clearly outdated- “If you haven’t yet experienced the Web…”). The majority of it is really technical as far as explaining how the different protocols work. It is also interesting how this essay seems to have a lot of ideas that we have discussed in it (which makes sense it being the last essay and all):
The W3, with its hypertext, describes a system similar to the memex.
One of the goals was to make it accessible to the masses- Alan Kay style.
Another one of the goals was to make it as easy to edit and organize as it is to read, which relates to our delicious bookmarks and tagging as well as the wiki.
The essay also talks about having different media available on the W3…which relates to the idea that the medium is the message…
On the subject of my project, I still have a few more pictures to take…but already have ideas on when and how I’m going to get them…I plan on posting up two more stories, which may seem to be rushing things…but I have had the ideas for these stories for a while and am quickly running out of time to execute them…I am saving what I hope will be the most effective story for last…

Fun and sometimes overwhelming to see how much has changed and how quickly.
You’ve done a good job of connecting the TB-L essay to earlier works in the New Media Reader. I’m pleased these connections have formed for you, and even more pleased that you blogged about them! Good work.
Delicious
