When you live by the link, you die by the link

Two instances of links reinforcing and strengthening what shouldn’t be:

Shelley Powers: Link Link Link.

Doc Searls: Tale of Whoa.

Related:

Matt Cutts: Dropping Valleywag.

Russell Beattie: Blog Sensationalism.

Nick Carr: The amorality of web 2.0.

Finally, from a terrific book:

David Weinberger: “Small Pieces Loosely Joined”: we can see reflected in the Web just how much of our sociality is due not to the nature of the real world but to the nature of ourselves.

You haven’t seen nothing yet folks.
