[2b2k] Another re-org
Tim’s got a sharp eye for the structure of books, as well as being smart about, and fully engaged in, the content. introduce Clay Shirky’s “It’s not information overload — it’s filter failure ” idea, and then say that the difference is not simply that we now have social filters and the like. Last week, I went through the current (dis)organization of the book with Tim Sullivan, my editor at Basic Books. I’ve known Tim for a few of years, (even before he became the editor of the tenth anniversary edition of Cluetrain ), which is the basic

Clay Shirky in London: Group action just got easier
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 that form around just one photo . 10 years ago, as Clay helped newspapers People sometimes ask why one might 'waste' one's time sitting on Advisory Boards, especially those of conferences. It means that whereas

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 set opf

How Google Can Combat Content Farms
In my recent post about the rise of content farms like Demand Media and the current incarnation of AOL, I posited that Google (and search in general) risks becoming less relevant as the Web gets drowned in lesser quality content. This is due to the scale at which these content farms are operating at - Demand Media alone pumps out 4,000 new pieces of content every day . The solution is of course for Google and other search engines to find better ways to surface quality content , whether that be from traditional news media, blogs or even Demand Media ( not all of its content is poor quality ).

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 ). According to a Harvard Business School study , about 10% of Twitter users contribute roughly 90% of its content. Perhaps the most common reason given for joining the microsharing site Twitter is " participating in the conversation " or some version of that. I myself am guilty of using this explanation

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.
