Web community is messy in all the right ways

When you run into Richard Nash, founder of Cursor, you’re encountering the embodiment of TOC enthusiasm. He’s the anti-curmudgeon.

As you’ll see in the following interview, Nash is passionate about the web’s ability to connect audiences and authors with the topics that excite them. His thoughts on tagging are particularly compelling (1:57 mark) because he really hits at the heart of web communities: like tags, communities are broad, messy, organic things that should never be pigeonholed by strict taxonomies.

What Nash outlines could very well be a blueprint for future publishing businesses.
