GoldenSwamp.com is the name of my blog. People ask me why.
There are 3 meanings that I know of for "golden swamp." One was coined by Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) as a name for Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age. A second is the name of a bird: the golden swamp warbler. The third is what my blog is about: the swampiness of the Internet that is allowing a golden age of learning to emerge from the open Internet.
Christiaan Huygen and his golden swamp
About the man and Amsterdam of the Dutch Golden Age
- Cassini-Huygens Mission
- The spacecraft that landed the Mars moon Titan in January 2005 was named for two scientists who made important Mars discoveries. Huygens identified the planet's ring and its largest moon, Titan, where the probe continues to send data to Earth.
- Amsterdam was a golden swamp
- The right side column here explains why Huygens coined the phrase "golden swamp" as a moniker for Amsterdam. The drawing is by his good friend Rembrandt.
The golden swamp warbler
Apparently a very beautiful bird, the warbler is described in these links.

Foreword by John Seely Brown
The swamp of the Internet is golden because it now contains a global virtual ecology of learning. Like the blogosphere, the ecology is a creature within the open internet. Only open content participates. Only open content emerges as the freshest, most authoritative, and comprehensive learning environment in human history. It is a beautiful thing!
