Not sure about that. Dangerous? mais oui! Big time!<BR/><BR/>Given the drive to put advertisements into RSS syndication feeds, it's pretty clear to me that humanity is on an unsustainable path into a murky future. But, that's a thread for a different blog. The link to this blog might be that we might someday find all our subject identities trademarked and monitized.Jack Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09126048699320186748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979481.post-1122416593463962832005-07-27T00:23:00.000+02:002005-07-27T00:23:00.000+02:00Jack<BR/><BR/>I wish you were right. But things that used to be open source for ages, like fresh air and water, wildeness, biodiversity, cultural legacy, even philosophy and religion, and now words and concepts, tend to turn into products as soon as anyone finds a way to sell them. Look at what's happening on the keyword market. Is not it the beginning of the concept market? Do not people choose already how they express concepts on the Web based on how they figure it will rank on Google? Is not, among others, http://www.keyword.com actually *selling* words from open source natural language, therefore making money on common legacy of mankind? Is not that something new and dangerous?Bernard Vatanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18031757620856104721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979481.post-1122388617530584842005-07-26T16:36:00.000+02:002005-07-26T16:36:00.000+02:00Language is the longest-running open source project in the universe. I don't see any reason for that to change.Jack Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09126048699320186748noreply@blogger.com
