 * Pulled these quotes from an article I sent you by Danah Boyd. I was thinking of placing one (one in red) on this page. What do you think?**

As of late, we've been talking a lot about content streams, streams of information. This metaphor is powerful. The idea is that you're living inside the stream: adding to it, consuming it, redirecting it. The stream metaphor is about reaching flow. It's also about restructuring the ways in which information flows in modern society. ***Think I like this one***

From blogging to social network sites to media sharing sites to sites that provide social streams, we are seeing countless ways in which a motivated individual can make their personal content available.

There were always folks willing to share their story but the Internet gave them a pulpit on which to stand.

In a networked era, there will be no destination, but rather a network of content and people.

Making content work in a networked era is going to be about living in the streams, consuming and producing alongside "customers." Consuming to understand, producing to be relevant.
