What do Ted Nelson, Tim Berners-Lee and KPMG have in common?

Well… they all want to create a two-way mutually agreed hyperlinked medium.

Ted Nelson and TBL want to do it by re-engineering how the web works.

KPMG just want to sue anyone who links to them without prior agreement.

Oops.

I just linked to them!

Seems obvious that a global company that prides itself understanding the business opportunities that this exciting new medium should want to forge ahead in this way. Defining the future through threatening litigation… Ingenious!

Oops. I linked to them again.
