It's still alive and we are working on getting it moved on soon. Watch this space ;-)

Wow... it looks like there hasn't been a news update to the site since 2006. Not a good sign. That's a bummer.

I wonder if the project's been abandoned. I was excited when I first heard of this, but there seems to be spotty updates at best on the site. It would be interesting to see if the Kweb concept could be integrated with other software like Google Earth and Wikipedia, and other troves of info on the web. James was talking about a "knowledge web" a long time ago, even back when he did the original Connections.. and it's nice to see just how right he was.

With a world full of fools and people happy to celebrate their ignorance, THANK YOU James Burke, unfortunatly there are too few of your kind today, a man of inspiration whose every word makes me aspire for greater understanding of the world

Well Burke was into six degrees long before Bacon, though we have jokingly called kweb six degrees of Francis Bacon ;)

Yes, Royal Society (central to the new trilogy) is well represented in K-web; and Snow Crash got me interested in educational potential of VR as well.

Hmmm... I wonder if Kevin Bacon is in the K-Web? Seriously now, any proyect by the great James Burke is always welcome.

bringing us closer and closer to Neal Stephenson's book "The Diamond Age"

James turned me on to History 18 years ago, and I've been ever grateful ever since

Thank you for posting this! I have been following James Burke's work since "The Day The Universe Changed" was first broadcast. I love how he ends this video...stating how important each one of us is to what the future will be.
