Everything's Connected

For awhile now I have tried to follow the workings of Steven Johnson - I was first introduced to him through his first book - Interface Culture - because of my Survey of Multimedia class a few years ago... then I found out he had a second book - Emergence: The connected lives of ants, brains, cities, and software - and this was something I really wanted to read but just didn't have the time when I first discovered it. I was also lucky enough to see him speak at my own college during a design conferrence during this past school year. I am currently reading Emergence now, finally, and I'm loving every bit of it!

He writes on so much of what I'm interested in right now. The latest thing I found tonight that I wanted to share here was an article he wrote for WIRED called Blog Space. It talks about how everything is connected thanks to blogs and other social software. Definitely worth a read if you are interested in this at all... and if you are at this site then chances are you are quite interested ;)
