TheEdge is Complex

Nick Carr has a posting about Web 2.0 on the edge. As I noted ~3 years ago, the decentralizing edge-oriented concepts and technology associated with Web 2.0 are so disruptive that they'll probably be deployed more "bottom-up" than "top-down."

Reminds me of Dave Snowden's description of the Complex Domain as being one where "agents constrain the system & the system constrains the agents"....a domain characterized by probing (vs. analysis) via "safe-fail" experiments with attractors and barriers.
