  1. Web science? I’ll accept that CS is a mathematical science but, seeing that he’s an HCI person, somehow I don’t think he’s talking about fundamental learning theory for information networks.

    Well, the guy’s listed in no less than three “who’s who” books, so what do I know? Well, I guess I know that I’m cheaper than him, being unwilling to pay to see my name listed thus.
