The Web That Wasn't
What would the Web look like it were build (more) according to the ideas of visionaries like Paul Otlet, Vannevar Bush or Ted Nelson? Alex Wright tries to answer this question in his Google Tech Talk here. He hopes that by looking at ideas preceding the current web we can look beyond the kind of hypertext we are so used to and maybe find solutions to some of the problems facing the web today. Really an interesting talk - in particular the stories about Paul Otlet who started to build the social web of data (on a big scale with dozens of employees and dedicated buildings!) even before computers were invented.
