David Weinberger presents The New Shape of Knowledge
The Wall Street Journal called him a "marketing guru." He's the co-author of the The Cluetrain Manifesto, the bestseller that cut through the hype and told business what the Web was really about. His recent book, Small Pieces Loosely Joined has been published to rave reviews hailing it as the first book to put the Internet in its deepest context. He's been a frequent commentator on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." He's written for the "Fortune 500" of business and tech journals, including The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, The Miami Herald, The Boston Globe, USA Today, The Guardian, and Wired. He is the author of the well-known daily weblog, Joho the Blog. He was a philosophy professor for six years, a comedy writer for Woody Allen for seven years, a humor columnist for Oregon's major daily newspaper, a dot-com entrepreneur before most people knew what a home page was, and a strategic marketing consultant to household-name multinationals and the most innovative startups. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy and is currently a Fellow at the prestigious Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society. His book Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder published by Times Books in May 2007, is his most recent work.
