Over the past 2 days I had an interesting exchange of email ( 11 13 at last count) with a guy that appear from nowhere. The content of the exchange can best be described as frustrating and a case of not seeing eye to eye.
Upon pondering a litter deeper however, I realise that it is not just an isolated incident but really a generic case of Web2.0 meeting the real world.
Many people, like me, live on the net, feeding on a diet of opensouce, mashup and all the fuzziness and overlaps that had became known as Web2.0.
Most of the time we are not too concern about other people using our work. This is not to say that we are condone those that blatantly steal work but rather, we prefer to embrace the idea of sharing, of community and a virtual closeness.
As much as we want to think that the whole world know what web2.0 is about, it is may very well be just 53,651 people.
So back to my story.
