Big brains round up

Lots of big brains doing big thinking today. We have:

Nick and Toby at Dare reminding us that everyone is an advertiser now...

John Maeda, Don Norman and others reminding us about the (good) basics of webdesign (hat tip: Nussbaum at BusinessWeek)...

Michael Kinsley, Paul Omerod, Richard Posner, Gary Becker, Bill Gates inter alia on how free market capitalism can be used to solve development problems (hat tip: Marginal Revolution).

My head hurts after all that.
