- "Before you even begin, understand your goal simply" ... "much about the initial attraction of Web 2.0 is its simplicity, with unnecessary complexity deliberately and carefully hidden"
- The link is the fundamental unit of thought. - Web for a reason / everything is linkable /saving a link gets you back to what originally referenced to, lets you share it with anyone at anytime / anytime = permalink that won't go away without warning / links should be human readable
- Data belongs to those that create it. - theirs unless right proven for others
- It's about data first, experiences and functionality second. - you can't have presentation without something to present / all data locatable with an URL that is easily found
- Be prepared to share everything with enthusiasm. - Share everything possible (data, service) / encourage others / keep only things private that absolutely have to be / make discovery, navigation easy, obvious, and straightforward /Why: In return, you will benefit many times over from the sharing of others.
- The Web is the platform; make it grow. - your data becomes part of the web / take care for those who are interested in your stuff
- Understand and embrace the "capability gradient" - 1 billion users / keep it simple, but support expert users
- Everything is editable - or i.E. comment
- Identity on the Web is sacrosanct. - must be verified.
- Know thy popular standards and use them - useful of that data = inverse propotion to how well-known and accepted its standard is /use: RSS, OPML, XHTML, simple XML, JSON / avoid: SOAP, XSD, RDF, ATOM, and others. / contribute with votes
