I found a blog post by a harvard prof about the live web. The fact that it’s such a big thing for even harvard profs to discuss makes it pretty interesting. But the way he talked about it was fascinating because he compaired to building which just stand there vs. things that are every growing and changing, and the sites that were ever changing were more interesting. This might be something companies or just regular people who want more site hits should consider. If their sites stays the same, not updating constantly, then people aren’t going to be very interested since it’s like a sturdy building. But if it were to grow and change, people might show a little more interest.

Hi. Thanks for noticing and linking to the post.
I should add, however, that I am not a professor at Harvard. I’m a fellow with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, which is at Harvard. But there’s a big gap between fellowship and professorship. Still, it’s a great place to be, and I’m grateful every day that I get to work at a university that I never would have bothered applying to back when I was a student.
Cheers,
Doc
