Transclusion: Fixing Electronic Literature

Enjoyable Google tech talk of Ted Nelson (famous for example for coining the terms hypertext and hypermedia) about how he thinks the web should be structured (his vision includes typed links ;-). I don't think the presented vision is realistic for a large part of the web - but the talk is worth the 40 minutes (plus 15 minutes discussion).   My favorite quote (taken a bit out of context):

You can read my apologies in [...] for any part I had in creating html links [...] I think its one of the worst thinks that has happened to the human race [...] 

Or watch it at Google Video.
