"Twopointopian" is a term first coined on the Annoyed Librarian blog on August 27, 2007 in "The Cult of Twopointopia" (http://annoyedlibrarian.blogspot.com), a response to Laura Cohen's "Library 2.0 Manifesto." The discussion continue on other blogs, such as www.davidleeking.com and Meredith Farkas' Information Wants to be Free (http://meredith.wolfwater.com).
