Once in a while I wonder back to WikiWikiWeb because the environment is so fascinating; so close to a true, unfettered combination of hypertext and community. But just now I became convinced WikiWikiWeb doesn’t have any actual content. It’s just an elaborately constructed collection of meta-content, always describing, teasing, instructing, guiding, but never yielding any actual stuff.
Oh, there it is, like this gorgeous, Specialization Is For Insects
post. Funny, the intro pages are one big silo, and the content pages are one big silo, and the RecentChanges page is a crosswalk between the two. If you get dropped (linked to) either silo you would think that’s the whole site.
