Free is overrated as a destiny. It is only the second phase of the three stages of copydom. The first phase -- perfection -- is experienced in both analog and digital. Perfect duplication made the modern world and modern music.

The second stage is freeness. Costless duplication made Napster possible and a music revolution thinkable.

Yet it is in the third level of digital copy-ness that the real revolution lies. This third power is liquidity, and it will take music beyond Napster.

Amazon Web Services evangelist Jeff Barr proposes that we might move beyond email some day:

I am starting to think that there may be such a thing as a post-email era, a time when we have forgotten about the entire concept of an Inbox, when there’s no such thing as catching up, and when more of our time and energy can be used in a more productive fashion.

I think the best tool for the “post e-mail era” is undoubtedly Diigo, which allows you to share sites you’ve bookmarked, with passages you find significant highlighted, and your own notes. You can also forward a link, with highlights and notes, to others by e-mail, if you prefer, or you can post all this information to your blog. And those are just the key points of what their integrated tools can help you do.

For two recent reviews that explain some of the power of Diigo, see: Under the Radar: Self Optimize and Adapt… and Intelligent Agent: Social Bookmarking for Enterprise Knowledge Management, which reviews several sites, including Diigo.
