variation on @timoreilly: hyperdata is the new intel outside
Context: Tim O'Reilly said "Data is the new Intel Inside".
Recently in a post "Why I love Twitter":
What's different, of course, is that Twitter isn't just a protocol. It's also a database. And that's the old secret of Web 2.0, Data is the Intel Inside. That means that they can let go of controlling the interface. The more other people build on Twitter, the better their position becomes.
The meme was launched in the well known "What is Web 2.0" paper in the section entitled "Data is the next Intel Inside"
Applications are increasingly data-driven. Therefore: For competitive advantage, seek to own a unique, hard-to-recreate source of data.
Most of the data is outside your database. It can only be that way, the world is huge, and you are just one small link in the human chain. Linking that data is knowledge and value creation. Hyperdata is the foundation of Web 3.0.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
