The rise and spread of the internet and the world wide web are first and foremost a cultural phenomenon.
Sounds fascinating and I look forward to the views that grow from this.

Cloud Culture is an intersting idea but lacks a clear definition. What is it? Is it culture? The answer is decidely no. It’s not culture because culture isn’t a product; culture is what is done to make that product. Cloud Culture is digital space in which to create cultural products, e.g. knowledge, yes? But who owns the knowledge created in this space? the creator of that knowledge or the provider of that space in which the creator created new knowledge? Is Cloud Culture then just another Facebook?
