Number 6: The Internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible in the era of mass media.

Speaking of which,  one thing that occurs to me is the hyperlink thing: The kinds of conversations we can have now have never before been attempted,  one of which is the ability to “do margin notes” on anything,  and you have an infinite amount of space in which to do so.  Linking enables multiple directions for a conversation to take,  and the diverse branches that lead here and there can be joined at any point in time by new contributors to the conversation.  I was looking at this 6th of the 95 theses,  and wondering where in the text of the Cluetrain manifesto that this particular item is discussed.  Cluetrain’s site needs cross referencing,  or has somebody already done so? 

“The Bible as Hypertext” is a further exploration along these lines
