If it weren’t for the originating source of the suggestion, I might easily dismiss a recent call for standardized blogging etiquette as something for those who don’t get the whole self-organization dynamic. Unfortunately, the first draft was written by a group of Internet gurus that include Tim O’Reilly and Jimmy Wales. Yiiikes.

He thinks deeply about many things, including but not limited to basketball, politics, microblogging, parenting, online communities, complex systems and design theory. He didn't, however, think up this profile.
