The power of permalinks
Posted on March 31st, 2006 by Jackie Danicki
I love this quotation, found thanks to Yahoo’s smart, delightful Susan Mernit:
The basic web unit is no longer a site, or even a page. It’s a piece of data. And that piece of data can appear anywhere.
That’s Peter De Vanzo. Of course this is about much, much more than mere permalinks, but as I am always looking for new ways to explain to people why it matters that you can distribute discrete chunks of information across the network so easily thanks to those permalinks, I think this quotation will help.
