Michael Rogers in Newsweek Online discusses Links by Albert-Laszlo Barabasi , Howard Rheingold’s Smart Mobs and my book. About mine he writes:

“Small Pieces Loosely Joined” by David Weinberger is subtitled “A Unified Theory of the Web.” Weinberger isn’t quite serious about his subtitle. Rather, he provides a thoughtful explication of the phenomena that any such theory should unify: from the design of e-commerce sites to why the phrase “All your base are belong to us” swept the Web. Of the three authors he’s the most overtly philosophical, with chapter titles like “Space” and “Time.” And he makes an interesting point: the idea of the Web is in some ways more important than the mechanism of the Web. The truly transforming impact of the Internet will occur when the linking and virtual existence that we experience on the Web starts to alter how we understand and manage society itself.

He liked Links and Smart Mobs, too. So do I.
