“I’m wondering, where do all the wikis go to die? Or can they be immortal? In the document-preservation world, they say the only way to make something last forever is to let it duplicate without bounds. So I’m very interested in massive duplication of content. Of course, whenever you say prolific duplication, you’ve got to say, what gets duplicated? And it’s kind of like gossip. And it puts out content out in kind of a Darwinian space, where the people who are paying to keep the disc spinning get to keep as much content streaming as they want. And the wiki aspect of this, of course this is exactly how the blogosphere works, right. In the blogosphere, everybody gets their own blog site however they want to do it, and we all read each other’s blogs. But that doesn’t have the sharing characteristics of a wiki.”
