The disruptive Web - Jon Udell, Infoworld
I did an experiment last week that nicely demonstrates the disruptive potential of Weblogs, Web services, and digital identity. My experiment began with two observations. First, I noticed myself buying books from Amazon.com not on the basis of Amazon's recommendations but on the book-related blog postings gathered by a clever service called All Consuming (www.allconsuming.net). Like Blogdex (http://blogdex.ai.mit.edu), Daypop (www.daypop.com), and Technorati (www.technorati.com), All Consuming measures the diffusion of links throughout a large network of blogs. But while the others measure the fluctuating interest in blogs themselves, All Consuming makes books the organizing principle.
