This Week On TechCrunch: The seventeen best ‘best-of… …of the year’ (and the decade) lists, of the week
There’s a reason why we had more stories on Techmeme’s list of the ‘ ten objectively biggest tech stories of 2009 ‘ than any other single news source, and that’s because – even in a week when no one is reading anything we write – we retain our passion for real journalism and impassioned campaigning , along with our hatred of lazy, crowd-pleasing bullshit. Snapstream’s Top TV Trends of 2009 Leena What is it about the dawn of a new year – and, in this case, a new decade – that inspires such an interminable parade of lists?

DesigNYC Matches Designers With Non-Profits in Need
In the spring of 2009, they began recruiting an advisory board consisting of design and media luminaries like Paola Antonelli, Steven Heller, and Clay Shirky, who framed the concept more fully. An economic downturn can be a boon for volunteerism.

  • Clay Shirky's "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable"
    Sometimes Clay Shirky astounds us by articulating something we've never thought of, and sometimes he astounds us by telling us something many have thought, but never so clearly and so compellingly.

  • [berkman] Clay Shirky on the future of news
    Clay Shirky is giving a lunchtime talk at the Shorenstein Center, which may be a joint event with the Berkman Center.

  • Feature Interview with Clay Shirky on Canadian Radio (CBC)
    I recently finished reading Clay Shirky’s new book (New York: Penguin, 2008) entitled Here Comes Everybody: the power of organizing without organizations . If you have been following the shift from presentation mode to participation mode in education and training, then you won’t find many startling ideas in this book, as Shirky covers topics already well discussed by other writers and bloggers. The ideas include the importance of sharing to build community, the fact that we all can be contributors to the information explosion, the increasing speed of change, challenges to established institutions, social media, small worlds, and that failure is a good thing in terms of learning.

  • Clay Shirky On Leadership and Management in an Interconnected World
    A couple of days ago, as the FASTForward 09 conference opened, I had the opportunity to sit down with Clay Shirky, author of the book “ Here Comes Everybody – the power of organizing without organizations ” and a consultant, professor and writer.

I wanted to bear down a little bit on some of the core ideas in his recent book and examine how his premises impact what management needs to understand and do with the new set opf

    Clay Shirky gave a publice talk at LSE entitled Here Comes Everybody: how change happens when people come together on Tuesday, and Steve Ryan sent me a link to the 45 minute talk and 45 minutes of discussion, which LSE has made available as an MP3 [42 MB]. Abstract: "Clay Shirky, one of the new culture's wisest observers, steer us through the online social explosion and ask what happens when people are given the tools to work together, without needing traditional organisational structures. As online communication becomes ubiquitous, Shirky unpicks fundamental issues that are increasingly the source of much debate in particular in the media, in business, and in government, all of whom are grappling to make sense of the new social revolution.

  • Twitter is Not a Conversational Platform
    But on Wikipedia, while many people share knowledge to co-create pages, the process is not formally collaborative in the sense that contributors are not cooperating with each other ways that form group identity (to paraphrase Clay Shirky from his book Here Comes Everybody ). As Shirky recently noted in his talk at the IAC/ACT Management of Change Conference that I attended in Norfolk, VA, such an imbalance of contribution is not a condition of failure for the platform or its users. Perhaps the most common reason given for joining the microsharing site Twitter is " participating in the conversation " or some version of that.
