Reframing the Net.

Rebooting our vocabularies. "Like" is to California what "fucking" is to New York.

The Fucking Insertion Principle. Unlike "fucking" "like" causes mental retardation. Words are tools of the mind. "Like" is a virus for adverbs.

"Write with nouns and verbs, not with adjectives and adverbs". Strunk and White.

Newspapers, magazines, broadcasters - now have "content". Vi är alla "sources of content".

Frågan: varför måste vi tjäna pengar på att blogga och podcasta? "What's your business model?"

Online publishing may work better as an expense. New York Times: contentivitis, or Noun Replacement Disease. Ta betalt för sin skattgömma. $49.95. Blir inte särskilt mycket pengar. Vad är poängen?

Frames, Matrices, Concepts - Krigsmetaforen.
Fight between metaphors for describing the Net - Transport-metaforen. Egendoms-metaforen. Plats-metaforen. Skrivande.

The net is a place for free speech (and writing).

Publiken är nu producenter. Lagstiftning hänger inte med.

The demand side supplies itself. No big-brand company invented blogging. "No vendor would allow the Internet to happen". Hollywood killed Internet radio.
