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

Fascinating reading - I will have to track down the book. I particularly liked the comparison of hours spent creating wikipedia vs time spent watching television!

Just watched the video of Clay Shirky talking about his book - fascinating stuff! Harnessing the cognitive power of society using social networking communication tools... Lucky we're doing this course so that we too can contribute. Hmmm got to have a look at that book.
