A manifesto and a franchise

Neville Hobson alerted me to this post by Loic Le Meur. It is a closely argued criticism of Quaero, the French search engine. But it is much more than that. It is a manifesto for the new economy, a description for the disintermediated franchise and the alarm bell for politicians and business folk who have not yet seen the digital tsunami as it sweeps them up into the most exhilarating and terrifying time of their lives. Such fun to watch!
