Do links subvert hierarchies?

Watch it. Loaded question. Counts upon your point of view and how you define hirearchy or subversion. Shelley Powers has a list of participants in the discussion.

I’ve mostly taken part in the discussion in the context of David Weinberger’s thread, but I can’t help but repost a little of the following….

Ask yourself: Are you a “wiggly worm”, “lowly insect”, “insignificant microbe”, “large mammal”, or “higher being”?

The TTLB ecosystem – as defined by how your peers link to you lets you know. Think about it. Don’t tell me you don’t want to join to track your ranking either.

What does that say?
