@pmarca: Someone should invent some kind of electronic words conveyance system, connect writers and readers directly, not need publishers OR Amazon.

  What are your thoughts? By "publishers," did he mean sites like LTB, or will LTB be part of the new system? Isn't the system already available via the Internet itself-- blogs, PDFs, social sites, etc.?

  I got the sense that he, Mr. Andreessen, was pointing to yet another way decentralized systems could impact how information flows. THe choke points currently are the publishers, which even LTB is as it is a centralized system (I know the goal is down the road, but now it is Adam's baby, regardless)
