Applications likely resonate with these innate approaches to information, mixing and matching in a rich way, depending on the use-case. We definitely seem to be adopting the networked mode (flat, self-organizing) more these days, if I read between Bill’s lines correctly.

Publications are fundamentally the former (somebody has organized the information in a particular way for us); the Web’s the latter (made for exploring and twigging). One’s not better than the other; they’re just fundamentally different.
