test objects design

Ev reports something Tim O’Reilly (paraphrasing someone else?). said at P2P conference. “The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.”. That struck a thought with me. What if the skill of building a website is to create a context in which other people can communicate, be heard, generate something new. I mean. why do you visit websites? Yeah-sure- to find things, shop, news, quotes on your stocks but WHY do you visit certain websites over and over again. Why are you so drawn to them?. Maybe because those websites were build around the context of creating a space for conversation. I shall revisit this. Can’t quite put my mind on it right now.
