David Weinberger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Weinberger (born 1950 in New York), is a technologist, professional speaker,[1] and commentator, probably best known as co-author of the Cluetrain Manifesto (originally a website, and eventually a book). Weinberger's work focuses on how the Internet is changing human relationships, communication, and society.
A philosopher by training, he holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto and taught college from 1980-1986. He was a gag writer for the comic strip "Inside Woody Allen" from 1976-1983.[2] He became a marketing consultant and executive at several high tech companies, and currently serves as a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. He is also an avid blogger.[3] He is a sometime Wikipedia editor. He had the title Senior Internet Advisor to Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign.
His next book, Everything is Miscellaneous, deals with evaluating the authoritativeness (in his term, the "authority") of knowledge sources; among other things, Wikipedia will be discussed.
