Now, mash this with my thoughts about the annotated world, and what I’m thinking about with Brightkite. Are we on the way to a borderless world? This is data in a post media world, but also in a post-web world.

Throw in a taste of Dave Winer’s “commercial information” idea:

A commenter named Hartsock put it perfectly: “I look forward to the day when I can search like this: “pants waist:38in inseam:32in cargo” and find a listing of cargo pants that fit me and places I can go and buy them.” Permalink to this paragraph
