Currently watching: "How We Lost The Web" by Anil Dash

I'm not yet 10 minutes into this talk and I'm already very impressed by the parallels he's drawing between privately owned public space (parks created by corporations in return for zoning variances) and sites like Facebook, along with ideas about the "right to transgress" (which I had never thought about before) and more familiar ideas like race and social class.

If video is difficult for you, it was liveblogged , there's a Storify, and an MP3 in case audio-only is better.
