Jonathan Zittrain at the Web2.0 Summit
October 17th, 2007
Wow! This guy was interesting … and funny (and he’s a Law Professor!).
Jonathan Zittrain is a Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, at Oxford Internet Institute.
I hope everybody get’s a chance to listen to his presentation on the Internet. His core argument is that web2.0 (the web as a platform) is in many ways “sterile”, meaning NOT OPEN, and very much legally regulated by the platform providers (e.g. Facebook) … much much more than other existing/previous platforms like e.g.”PCs” and “The Internet”.
He also attacked Apple for a being sterile and closed circuit - which is completely true (Iphone + Itunes). I really hate them for that. They’re cool - but broken.
If Martin is listening: This guy is interesting! You know him?
