I apologize for the noise in the background - but it was hard to find a silent spot. David W's quote "transparency is the new objectivity" was the take away quote for me on the first day of PDF. It captures something that I think many people have been trying to allude to for a long time. If objectivity is a farce, then the only thing we can do is show why we hold certain beliefs. In some ways I often argue that Wikipedia is MORE objective than the Encyclopedia Brittanica. Granted the Brittanica is more "official" the wikipedia entry on the same topic has more people agreeing to the definition. If they disagreed - they'd change it. So if they all agree that a wikipedia entry should be defined differently from Brittanica - assuming democracy rules - they would be more correct, since they would be the folks using the definition in their lives in the first place. (maybe that is convoluted and off to the side of David W's original point). Rock on. I’m glad you liked the video. I apologize for the noise in the background – but it was hard to find a silent spot.

I wasn't able to attend PDF, but I've been following the Twitter stream & it has been fascinating - esp the buzz around David Weinberger's talk. Your video follow-up, DigiDave, helps fill in some gaps. Would love to hear your take on the whole "transparency is the new objectivity" argument. ...
