Jon Stahl quotes a comment by Ethan Zuckerman about “shiny” - the over attention to cool and groovy web 2.0 functionality. The punch line:
… there’s a good chance that underneath the shiny is something that isn’t very interesting. (Not always, but often.) And that some of what’s deeply, truly, long-term transformative isn’t shiny at all.
Yes!
