Last month at ted.com (one of the most worth-while sites on the Web, imho) was posted the talk given my Christopher "moot" Poole, the inventor of 4chan.org. I'd been interested in seeing this because I'm a fan of 4chan (I'll explain why), and because it was announced that he'd be speaking on the subject of "Provocation." Now that I've seen it, though, I wonder why they posted it.
It wasn't bad or pointless, really. It's just that Chris is not a public speaker. And it's a shame because, with a title like "The Case for Anonymity Online," he certainly had some good things to say.
[See, now this is why this blog exists--I intend to write what I think he should have said.... but now dinner's ready. So, draft it is.]
(I recommend visiting the site and, whether you watch the video or not, read the comments on the talk.)
