“Scripting News: I actually quoted Nick Denton, who says that when the Net works as a collaborative environment, it’s very capitalistic. Weblogs, because they are not shared spaces, are like capitalism. Mail lists, where the proletariat rule, are communist. Profound. Matches up nicely with my time in Jo’burg. The capitalists downstairs were pretty damned organised about housing. Us socialists upstairs were not. Not a nice realisation for a good 70’s Redmonton boy.”
