| Despite its haphazard growth, the web hides powerful underlying regularities - from the organization of its links to the patterns found in its use by millions of users. Huberman’s translates recent ultra-theory on the subject into understandable language - but when he ventures to suggest applications, they seem to apply mainly to mega-portals. If you run one of those, buy this book. | ||
