Expo in NYC last September — “It’s not information overload. It’s filter failure”

• Here Comes Everybody: how change happens when people come together - Clay Shirky's 3/2/2009 public lecture at LSE
  
  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.

• Wikimedia Strategy: Ideas for Strengthening Online Communities
  
  Our hunting and gathering of ideas for improving community health got a booster shot last month when Wikimedia Foundation executive director Sue Gardner, deputy director Erik Moeller and I had the opportunity to spend the day with Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales as well as with Clay Shirky, adjunct professor in NYU's graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program and author of Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations. As Clay shared, "when you grow, then the 1% of activity that is a problem becomes big enough to matter." For those of you who have been following Wikimedia's open strategy initiative on this blog , you'll know that one of the goals of the work has been to strengthen the health of the Wikipedia community of contributors who create and use its online encyclopedias.

• Larry Lessig: Beyond Transparency, and Net Triumphalism
  
  Net triumphalism seemed more plausible back in the days when the demographics of the participants were pretty homogeneous, masking the role culture played in the homogeneous effects the Net was having. As regimes have censored the Net in ways the Net has not routed around, as Albert-Laszlo Barabasi and then Clay Shirky showed us that the Net tends towards the old patterns of unequal influence, as the mere networked presence of Howard Dean supporters failed to end GW Bush’s reign of error, naive Internet Triumphalism has become unsupportable. Plenty is being written already trying to parse, understand, and come to terms with Larry Lessig’s article “ Against Transparency ” in the New Republic.
