rePost :: :: The Web will eat itself over WikiLeaks

I realize there are other events taking place in Tech Land these days. Google, for example, seems determined to roll out a new operating system every damned day — Gingerbread [10], Honeycomb [11], Chrome [12], and so on. But I can’t stop thinking about WikiLeaks.
Why? Because this is the single most important story to hit the Internet ever. It dwarfs the Drudge Report’s Monica Lewinsky scoop, the Twitter anti-Tehran uprising, and even the Pam Anderson sex video. Never before has a small band of whatever-you-want-to-call-thems taken on every major nation simultaneously, twisting them into knots. But thanks to the distributed nature of the Net, they have — and I suspect they won’t be the last.
Also: Journalism as we knew it is over. No more trade-offs between revealing some things while keeping other information private, of choosing between the necessary secrets governments must keep and the public’s right to know — it’s now a free-for-all.
