Hot off the Presses: The Newspaper Club Produces--and Prints--a Newspaper at SXSW
But little did we know that the Newspaper Club was holding top secret meetings with a band of collaborators and actually produced a newspaper at and about the conference, which was printed on an honest-to-goodness printing press last night. Articles rolled in from Bobbie Johnson (the cheeky "Newspapers are always in beta"), Clay Shirky, Matt Jones and Dan Hill. Yesterday we reported on the Newspaper Club , who swept the recent Brit Insurance Design Awards with their masterful recapturing of a low-tech medium. We also hinted that they'd be bringing their newsprint ways to

Why We Need Tech Events for Women
This week the Bay Area is hosting two women in tech events including yesterday's Girls in Tech Catalyst Conference and upcoming weekend event She's Geeky . While both events feature major industry leaders, I can't help wondering if a separate conference for women is akin to the separate panel for Southern Californians. The Girls in Tech Catalyst Conference At the last Twiistup event, on a panel with diehard Los Angeles entrepreneurs and investors Yammer CEO David Sacks explained that Southern Californians wouldn't need to have a panel on Los Angeles startups if it really did receive the same recognition and credit as Silicon Valley.

  • Clay Shirky in London: Group action just got easier
    People sometimes ask why one might 'waste' one's time sitting on Advisory Boards, especially those of conferences. One reason I like it is that you can suggest that you'd like to hear someone like, say, Clay Shirky and, six months later, you've got him. Clay speaks today at Online Information Conference in London. As well as formal groups around certain types of photography on Flickr ( like this HDR group for beginners ) there are the more impromptu adhoc communities It means that whereas destination sites ' half-lives were relatively short, the half-life of a "insta-community" photograph like this becomes very much longer.

  • 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. As a way to get into the issues, I asked Clay to offer his perspective about how the Web and its interconnectedness is affecting knowledge-based work. 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

  • 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.

  • Old Growth Media, The Aftermath
    The volume of response also underscores the value of releasing an essay version of a speech more or less simultaneously with the speech itself -- a trick I learned from my old friend Clay Shirky, who, entirely by coincidence, posted his own essay on the newspaper crisis the day I gave my speech in Austin. You'll see Clay's excellent essay mentioned in many of the links below; if you haven't had a chance to read it, be sure to check it out. I'd been meaning to do a follow-up post collecting the responses to my SXSW speech on "Old Growth Media And The Future of News," but I kept putting it off because new articles and posts continued to roll in, and stitching them all together started to seem a little daunting.
