This week has proven quite busy, so I apologize for the lack of updates.

I will however refer you to Alex Wright who has posted parts of his presentation at the Information Architecture Summit.

"On the Web, much of the activity seems to hew closely to oral cultures - e.g., blogs, email and IM - modes of interaction that are fluid and constantly shifting, lacking the epistemological fixity of traditional print culture. If we look around the Web today, we can see these two cultures of spoken and written words negotiating an uneasy embrace."
