Ben Thompson at Stratechery has been banging the centralization drum for a while. His take is the sheer scale of the internet imbues tremendous value to any centralized service that can organize it (e.g. what Google does for web pages or Facebook does for your friends).

If this is the case then the internet may end up more centralized than previous forms of media and communication. I hope that's wrong, but it seems to be happening right in front of us.

So that's how Stratechery is spelled! I have been listening to Exponent for a while and failed to find the site on Google.

How is it meant to be said aloud? I've always wondered.

He created it to be “stra-tee-ka-ry” (after George W. Bush’s infamous ‘stragegery’) but no one ever pronounced it right. Over time, he admitted that “stra-tech-uh-ry” was better anyway because the site covers technology.
