Niall Kennedy's Weblog: More TypePad 2.0 details

Niall's take on Sixapart's move toward community sites like the learning remix. I think he misperceives the potential impact of the tools. They are not for lazy people but for people who want to pull together disparate community members.

Project Comet

This is a project not unlike our learning remix. We expect to see it in 2006. The limit I see here is the extent to which it enables entrepreneurially remixing. It seems like a mass market project oriented toward family and friends.
