If you're a writer, picking your favorite article is like picking your favorite child. In other words, it's really easy and always obvious.

Here are some of the articles that have caused a flurry of a pretense of interest.

The Longing: Why is our culture on fire about the Web when we can't even say what it's for? A desire so fervent must express a deep longing, a spiritual longing.

0:1 marketing: 1:1 marketing only has a real "you" at one end of the equation — and we need to do something about it

The KM Impulse: Why do we care?: Beneath the buzzwords is an impulse to understand

The EZ Press Release Form: Everything you need to do it yourself.

Down with Reality!: The person staffing the ticket desk asks me: "Do you have an electronic ticket or a real ticket?" Two thousand years of philosophy, and this is what it comes down to.

Messages in bottles: Sometimes a human voice pokes through a product, and it's thrilling.

Devolving Definitions: All Hail Larry, for He hath brought forth NCs direct from his mighty forehead...by redefining them into existence.

The Knowledge Management Metaphor: "Managing knowledge" is as wrong as thinking of the Web as "the worldwide scrapbook". Let's try a different metaphor...

Death of Suck: "Suck" is out. Here's a replacement.

One-Question Interview: Dan Bricklin on Writing for Online: The inventor of the killer app for the PC and -- more recently -- the mind behind Trellix discusses what we can learn from printed paper about building documents for hyperspace.

When Everything Is on the Web: Everything electrical -- from refrigerators to thermostats to vending machines -- will be a web server, serving up information about itself. Besides having levels of control never before imagined we're also going to see some big shifts in metaphors.

Meaningless Blather: How much computer memory would it take to capture human experience? We take apart some meaningless blather that somehow mistakes life for cleverly arranged bits.
