The New Wisdom of the Web

Newsweek photo: Butterfield and Fake with non-digital Polaroids

Flickr's delightful founders Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake have made the cover of Newsweek magazine, where the cover line is about "Putting the 'We' in Web". The lead story, The New Wisdom of the Web, provides a quick overview of the Web 2.0 landscape ("all the usual suspects," as Paidcontent says), but otherwise focuses more on Flickr and MySpace. (Startups such as Digg are covered in the related story, Who's Building the Next Web?)

Not much new here, but there is a great quote from Google's chief executive, Eric Schmidt:



Schmidt says that he doesn't understand why people think his company wants to be the next Microsoft. "Everybody thinks we're building operating systems, PCs and browsers. They clearly don't get it," he says. So where does Google want to go? "Look at MySpace," he says cryptically. "Very interesting."



Not everybody, Eric!
