News.Com An e-government pill for the tech sector

""Government is our biggest vertical market," said Kevin Fitzgerald, senior vice president of Oracle's government, education and health care unit, who noted that government is likely to become an even bigger customer. "The government is reaching out to industry and focusing on high-impact, high-return areas.""

"It's the first time the government had put a serious process behind e-government," Fitzgerald said. "Before, they were sitting in a back room doing white papers.""

“"You're not a designer, you're not a writer, and you're not an editor!"

Well, no, blogger, you're not. And therein lies your gift. Because even if it's true the vast majority of blogs would not be missed by more than a handful of people were the earth to open up and swallow them, and even if the best are still no substitute for the sustained attention of literary or journalistic works, it's also true that sustained attention is not what Web logs are about anyway. At their most interesting they embody something that exceeds attention, and transforms it: They are constructed from and pay implicit tribute to a peculiarly contemporary sort of wonder.

...[T]he Web log reflects our own attempts to assimilate the glut of immaterial data loosed upon us by the "discovery" of the networked world. And there are surely lessons for us in the parallel. For just as the cabinet of wonders took centuries to evolve into the more orderly, logically crystalline museum, so it may be a while before the chaos of the Web submits to any very tidy scheme of organization.”
