What Does it Mean to Make 5 Million Maps? Platial's Legacy
The three founders said they were taking advice from people like Clay Shirky , Anselm Hook and Arturo Duran .

  • [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. NOTE: Live-blogging. As Bob Garfield says (says Clay), it turns out that people will go to sites that do nothing but post ads. Getting things wrong. Missing points.

  • 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.

  • Communities, Audiences and Scale: eight years on
    Eight years ago Clay Shirky penned his Communities, Audiences and Scale , pointing out the difference between the TV world of one-to-the-masses communication which scales to infinity, and many-to-many community communication, which in the form of forums and blog discussions at the time, had an upper limit to its potential success: With such software, the obvious question is "Can we get the best of both worlds?
