• 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.

• 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.
