Berners-Lee: Social networks are 'walled gardens' threatening Net neutrality
"I thought Net Neutrality had to do with speed - biggies paying extra for faster speed/more bandwidth. As for the www, people are going wherever they want - how is that anti-neutrality? To use the examples given, if people thought FaceBook or Apple "sucked", they would let them know by not spending time & money there. businessavante"Diversity & Leadership
"Lots of great points made in the article & internal comments (including your excellent comment). The author is playing "Devil's Advocate" and has some points As Far As Lip Service Goes, but the worry is the underlying "monsters" in people's subconscious that may let them dismiss qualified applicants w/o realizing what's really behind it. (If it's conscious, it's totally unethical - and criminal). It's a slippery slope when diversity is dismissed out of hand - the reasons behind it will be forgotten, and good people will lose out for the "old" reasons once again. businessavante"Caught in Complacency Within Your Comfort Zone
"I loved the line: "Savvy competitors have an edge because they have learned how to get the butterflies in their stomach to fly in formation." Although I'm all for education, I'd say the school system in my day basically prepared young people to be complacent - to expect structure. In my generation (I'm mid 50's), people used to expect to be able to work most of their life for one company, which compounded that feeling. I've read that gen Y is the 1st generation that doesn't expect to keep 1 job forever - that's a good thing. businessavante"Subscribe
