Sir Tim Berners-Lee on the read/write web
When Berners-Lee talks about the web, people listen. In a recent Newsnight interview with the web's creator, Mark Lawson asked Berners-Lee about blogging and a rewriteable web.

Some interesting issues are covered in the interview. Read it on the BBC News website.
