In a book a few years ago, I called the worldwide web a "great autonomous linking machine" – a shoutout to the web's most essential characteristic: hyperlinks. Information creators use them to take people to new places. Information consumers use them to traverse the increasingly blurry boundaries of human knowledge. We all benefit.
Linking led to a practice that has come to be called curation and aggregation – the collection of useful pointers by one person for viewing by others. Countless people play this valuable role in my daily media use, on blogs, on Twitter, in email and other ways.
