By Tripp Fuller • Mar 3rd, 2010 • Category: conversations, emergent, philosophy, podcast, pomo

One of the greatest insights of the Google-World is the freedom of Beta. A Beta is more than a product not-yet-ready-for-consumption, but a way of thinking, creating, and living. It owns being unfinished. It expects contribution, evolution, transparency. For a long time all of culture was under a spell. It believed in the myth of [...]
