I’ve been checking out this discussion at kottke.org (pointed to by Matt Jones).

Interestingly, Jason Kottke earlier posted an excerpt from a review of Gosford Park which (perhaps unwittingly) resonates with the later discussion of emergence and blogs/mailing lists/wiki etc.

"Altman achieves his dream of a truly organic form, in which everyone is connected to everyone else, and life circulates around a central group of ideas and emotions in bristling orbits."

One response to “Blogging and Emergence”

  1. I believe the basic blog structure needs to evolve some more before emergence can occur. I don’t mean more bells and whistles in the blogs themselves, but in the ways blogs can interact. JK has it right when he says more tools are needed, though I think the term “tool” is a misnomer.
