Very very clear thoughts from Tim O'Reilly

Ethan Zuckerman liveblogged wonderful Tim O'Reilly speech 15 july. It is just extremely clear thoughts about web 2.0 that deserves to be read. Here is a passage that I really liked:

The Unix operating system was built around the idea that we could join together independent programs with no more than a protocol that allows these programs to work together. This allows for a very different school of software development than in Windows, where 90,000 developers need to figure out how to work together. In Linux, thousands of loosely coordinated little groups build the system together.
