"Content is less important than context."

• Clay Shirky did an experiment: only 6% of his local newspaper was local content. And we wonder why newspapers are dying.
  
• If content is so important, why does a Stephen King book cost the same as one by a first-time-author (pointed out by Paul Graham)?

• Kynetx can turn off malicious scripts.
• Kynetx can create reputation and certification processes/systems for applications/organizations.
