O'Reilly Network: Jon Udell: Radio UserLand 8.0 Is a Lab for Group-Forming - "When Radio's currently-centralized community engine itself becomes distributable (as is planned), I expect to see an explosion of group-forming activity. The spaces thus constituted will express different sets of values, but they'll federate in the way that Reed's Law predicts."

 

Which says: "Networks that support the construction of communicating groups create value that scales exponentially with network size, i.e. much more rapidly than Metcalfe's square law. I will call such networks Group-Forming Networks, or GFNs."

O'Reilly Network: Jon Udell: Radio UserLand 8.0 Is a Lab for Group-Forming - "The impulse to collaborate online, in ways richer than email allows, is finding other means of expression. Blogging is a major ingredient of the emerging story, but it is not the whole story. A lot of things are coming together all at once, creating a rush of excitement like I haven't felt in a few years."

 

I know what he means. It's been coming for so long though. Under the IPO wire.
