It's news to me

Yesterday in Dan Gillmor's Sunday column, he presents an interesting interview with Tim Berners-Lee, the man who is credited with giving birth to the World Wide Web. Here's a sample of what I found interesting in his column.

"The Web Berners-Lee envisioned and forged wasn't really the one that has emerged in recent years. He believed that the Web should be a medium for writing, not just reading, a medium for robust collaboration.

The community has created most of the needed tools to make the Web more collaborative, in a robust and secure way. The technology enables Berners-Lee and his colleagues to collaborate across time and distance in powerful ways. But the tools are far from complete.

``Each problem, by itself, has been tackled,'' he said. ``What is difficult is taking the lot and gluing it together.''
