Mark nicely sums up my reaction to a presentation earlier today by Jeff Cole, who is Director of the newly formed Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School for Communication, where he runs the World Internet Project. A superb presentation of Jeff’s recent research results, and hats off to EBay for organizing the event. Update: Mathew’s take on the presentation is here. It would be an understatement to say that we were all very excited by the good perfesser’s talk and the linkages to what we want to accomplish with mesh.
