This morning I am heading down to the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy to talk about Peer Progress and Regulation 2.0. The pitch goes like this:
“Peer Networks” are bringing new organizational and economic dynamics to every sector — unlocking tremendous opportunity and potential.

If you’ve read Future Perfect, or other books about how peer networks & open collaboration are changing our society & economy by folks such as Benkler, ZIttrain, Weinberger,

I just released a new episode of The Slow Hunch with Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare.

Our conversation traces Matthew's journey from his early "slow hunch" that the internet was fundamentally broken and needed fixing. We start with his law school days in 2000, when ...
