Web 2.0: better stay beta?

A privately-negotiated international trade agreement that's anti-sharing, anti-privacy and anti-democratic.

Who you gonna call?
Hello, you. I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name as those guys. I'm a user experience consultant, expatriate, traveller, writer and pro cycling enthusiast.
