On content and kingdoms

I’m a weird kind of guy. I stopped reading David Weinberger’s blog for a week or so, I wanted to be able to finish reading his new book without seeing any of the reviews, and to write a review “unburdened by theory” and uninfluenced by what others said.

So it was only today that I came across his pointer to Andrew Hinton’s piece on Architectures for Conversation (ii): What Communities of Practice can mean for Information Architecture.

And in that piece, I came across this wonderful quote from Cory:

Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about.

But that’s almost an aside. Andrew’s presentation is well worth a detailed look, and will be something I will blog on in some depth sometime soon. Currently I’m just enjoying catching up with what he’s been writing.
