In the digital world, everything has its places, with transformative effects:</P><P>• Information is now a social asset and should be made public, for anyone to link, organize, and make more valuable.</P><P>• There's no such thing as “too much” information. More information gives people the hooks to find what they need. </P><P>• Messiness is a digital virtue, leading to new ideas, efficiency, and social knowledge. </P><P>• Authorities are less important than buddies. Rather than relying on businesses or reviews for product information, customers trust people like themselves. </P><P>With the shift to digital music standing as the model for the future in virtually every industry, <I>Everything Is Miscellaneous</I> shows how anyone can reap rewards from the rise of digital knowledge.</P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
