What people do on the web

According to Boxes & Arrows, There are only four things people do on the web:

"Boxes and Arrows is the definitive source for the complex task of bringing architecture and design to the digital landscape. There are various titles and professions associated with this undertaking -- information architecture, information design, interaction design, interface design -- but when we looked at the work that we were actually doing, we found a community of practice with similarities in outlook and approach that far outweighed our differences."

Avoid Santa Claus approach to content management.

Similarities in public behaviour

After WWII, when asked why they did not do anything to stop the Nazi regime from contineous mass murder, the answer of most germans was, they thought the reports were overly exagarated and they didn’t believe the stories they heard could be true.

Aside of the cruelness of the Nazi regime which stands in no comparision of any government today, I think there are obvious similarities in public behaviour of US citizens facing the current incompetence of their government, and yet not being able to remove it from power.
