HERE COMES EVERYBODY

This is the title of a recently published book about Web 2.0 by Clay Shirky (copy on order). And here is a link to a speech - 'Gin, Television, and Social Surplus' - he gave at a recent Web 2.0 conference: http://www.shirky.com/herecomeseverybody/2008/04/looking-for-the-mouse.html

FIRST THOUGHTS

Well ... three weeks after creating the blog this is my first post. I thought this might happen - a combination of lack of time and inspiration, procrastination, and being sucked into the vortex of the blogosphere. I'm not usually much of a net trawler, too many other things I'd rather be doing (you know, the usual stuff: books, music, food, wine, conversation, cricket, playing with cats, dreaming ... ), but felt I should look at some blogs for research purposes - big mistake! There must be 90 million billion photos of cats out there ... don't worry I only looked at half of them.
