Xeni Jardin: In 2003 here on Boing Boing, Mark wrote:

"Judith Scott (born 1943), a fifty-five year old woman with Down's Syndrome, has spent the past ten years producing a series of totally non-functional objects which, to us, appear to be works of sculpture, except that the notion of sculpture is far beyond Judith's understanding. As well as being mentally handicapped, Judith cannot hear or speak, and she has little concept of language."

A friend of Boing Boing says, "I've just learned that she died last night."

We understand that a television segment about Ms. Scott's life and creative legacy may air soon on a network TV show. If so, we'll blog it here.

The Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship Report
http://www.you rlearning.com/churchillreport.html

Shalni Gulati, PhD student in online learning and informal learning, has compiled an ebook report on her recent travels to nine U.S. institutions to learn about online earning developments in healthcare education in the USA. The travels were a result of a fellowship granted by the Winston Churchill Memorial trust in UK. "Healthcare and other academics can read the report to review examples of learning strategies used in online courses to make learning more flexible and student centred. They may want to pursue the possibility of developing direct links with academics identified in the report and share future developments." Gulati's report is available at no cost at the above URL. The main purpose of this report is to give an account of the Winston Churchill Fellowship travel that aimed to learn from online learning developments at healthcare education institutions in the USA. It is hoped that the report gives an insight into the technological influences in healthcare professional education. The report may also add to the developing body of knowledge in the field of online learning and healthcare education. This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide and Education and Distance Learning Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.

The Churchill Club panel discussion on blogging and social networking, which I'm co-moderating, has been moved to June 17. It was originally scheduled for tomorrow. Details here.

Churchill Club Event: Blogging & Social Networking: Who Cares?

Marc Canter, The Devil's (or Angel's?) Advocate

Last night, the Churchill Club sponsored an event entitled, "Blogging & Social Networking: Who Cares?" As it turned out, at least 250 people who attended the event care. In fact, by the time we arrived, the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel parking lot in Palo Alto was already filled with Mercedes, BMWs and Porsches. (Somebody must have made money during the dot com boom.)

The whole evening had a "1994" feeling to it. There was a sense of optimism and enthusiasm that we hadn't seen since we attended the first Internet World Conference held in San Francisco in September 1994 at the beginning of the Internet boom.

The meeting was a moderated discussion with the following participants.

Panelists:

* Antony Brydon, CEO, Visible Path Corporation
* Jason Calacanis, Chairman, The Weblogs, Inc. Network
* Marc Canter, CEO, Broadband Mechanics
* Charlene Li, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research, Inc.
* Ross Mayfield, CEO, Socialtext
* Ajit Nazre, Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
* David Pell, Electablog.com
* Mark Pincus, CEO, Tribe Networks

Moderators:

* Dan Gillmor, San Jose Mercury News
* Tony Perkins, Creator & Editor-in-Chief, AlwaysOn

The stage when thus set to talk about what many of the panelists described as Internet 2.0, with Internet 1.0 spanning the 1994-2002 timeframe. Dan Gillmor of the San Jose Mercury News said that blogging and social networking have now enabled the Tim Berners Lee's initial vision for the web as a "read-write" environment as opposed to the "read-only" content consumption focus of Internet 1.0.

Ross Mayfield of Socialtext put further meat on the bone by asking the question: What changes might we expect when:

1) Weblog software platforms drive the cost of publishing to zero?
2) Social networking platforms drive the cost of creating and organizing group activities to zero?

A number of the panelists pointed to the significant impact of weblogs and social networking on politics with Howard Dean's presidential campaign held up as a prime example of the savvy use of these platforms. As a San Jose Mercury News article dated 2/10/2004 said, "The forces the [Dean] campaign unleashed -- and the people who discovered they had a chance to change things -- aren't going to be rebottled anytime soon."

Dan Gillmor asked the most interesting question of the night saying, "How long will it be before a President of the United States is elected that had a weblog as a teenager?" What makes this an interesting question is that anything that we contribute to the Web is effectively "unerasable."

Staying in the political realm, David Pell of Electablog.com imagined that, "Sometime soon, maybe even now, oppressed women in Arab countries will begin using anonymous weblogs to draw attention to their plight in a way that 60 Minutes never could."

Politics aside, the real question on many people's minds was: "Can you make money doing this stuff?"

There was a significant amount of disagreement on this topic with the CEOs of the social networking companies predictably saying that "There's gold in them "thar" hills," and Marc Canter, also predictably, playing the devil's advocate, telling the VCs to "Stay away and not screw things up."

My own personal feeling is that the impact of both the social networking and weblog platforms will be significant but, speaking from a biased perspective as an entrepreneur in this space, the financial benefits will accrue to the "little guys." I believe this because, I share the viewpoint made last night that, both weblog and social networking software platforms will become open-source commodities. The value-add will come as entrepreneurs apply these platforms to under-served niche markets. These markets, by definition, will be small in scale creating many small profitable private companies but very few, if any, large public companies.

Perhaps Internet 2.0 will allow thousands of entrepreneurial flowers to bloom creating an era of "Cottage Commerce," a term coined in the early 90's by my long-lost friend, Michael Grant, formerly of Apple Computer and Macromind.

Then again, I could be dead wrong. What do you think?

Use the power of Internet 2.0 to share your comments.
