David Weinberger Keynote From The Defrag Conference

I was just catching up on some feeds and noticed that David Weinberger (co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto and author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined and Everything Is Miscellaneous) posted on his Joho The Blog this: The Value Of The Implicit – Defrag. It’s a link to a brand new keynote that Weinberger gave last month at the first-ever Defrag Conference in Denver, Colorado.

I love how Weinberger is self-deprecating in his description: "The talk is 30 minutes long and mainly incoherent."

I have to admit, it is Weinberger at his finest. Where else do you see a keynote speaker recite poetry to a bunch of techies?

You can watch the presentation over here: Yahoo! Developer Network Theater – David Weinberger – Keynote @ Defrag Con.

I have no idea how long they will keep this keynote posted.
