Andrew Keen on New Media – Recently, Internet commentator Andrew Keen was at Oxford University together with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger to debate whether "the internet is the future of knowledge". Keen notes that it was ironic for the discussion – which included whether the internet was democratising the creation and distribution of knowledge – to have occurred at Oxford, a representative of the "ivory tower business model for knowledge". He notes that establishment of Oxford University by a wealthy landowner contrasts with the origins of Wikipedia, and sites like Wikipedia and Citizendium are driving the adoption of wikis, podcasts and blogs, even by traditional knowledge companies. Keen found the response of Oxford faculty and students to the democratic potential of the internet enthusiastic and "anything but snooty".
