The Friday Flux is a new weekly series in which I’ll highlight a post from the archives on this blog. The idea for this stemmed from a recent post in which I highlighed an excellent post Dennis McDonald and Jeremiah Owyang wrote which is almost two years old but still as good as ever. Finding, and writing about, that post made me realize that when using a temporal mechanism like blogs, we shouln’t just let posts disappear into the archives – we should re-read and reflect on them as time passes.

The name “The Friday Flux” was inspired by the Flux Capacitor, the device “Doc” Emmett Brown described as “what makes time travel possible” in the DeLorean Time Machine he and Marty McFly used for time travel in Back to the Future.

This week’s flux is a post I wrote in August 2006: Wiki and the Memetic Marketplace. Enjoy!
