Any Internet 101 course will include plenty of examples where deposit,<BR>

content and service are assembled within a single site (by one provider,<BR>
<BR>
company etc.) - the list is really very long, from ArXiv to Amazon, SSRN<BR>
<BR>
to Flickr, RePEc to Facebook and so on. Internet 101 theory will then<BR>
<BR>
elucidate why this is so an (e.g. network effects, economies of scale<BR>
<BR>
and so on). Creating thousands of little repositories was probably never<BR>
<BR>
a good idea ...<BR>

Umm, I guess Internet 101 will also tell us that creating billions of little<BR>
sites was never a good idea and we should all be depositing directly in<BR>
Google...<BR>
