A visualization from the Open Web Mind
Notes
The Open Web Mind is my most ambitious project.
It’s what I work on when I’m not writing articles or recording podcasts.
It’s so ambitious that it’s difficult to know where to start when talking about it.
When I talk expansively to my friends about what the Open Web Mind could be, they come away confused about what it is.
So I’m going to start small and specific.
Today I talk about a visualization of Startup Hubs around the world, and how the Open Web Mind made it easy to generate.

Quotes
“There’s a lot of information on the web... but there’s not much you can do with it”
“The information on the pages of web sites is not much different from information on the pages of library books”
“The web is in the wrong format. It’s in words. Same as printed books. Same as penned manuscripts. Same as carved tablets. It’s as if it’s a few thousand years behind the times.”
“The Open Web Mind can transform words on the web into information you can do something with: knowledge you can query, navigate, manipulate, visualize”
