Yesterday we reported on the Newspaper Club , who swept the recent Brit Insurance Design Awards with their masterful recapturing of a low-tech medium.

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 reason I went with Basic for Too Big to Know.

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.

  • [2b2k] Clay Shirky, info overload, and when filters increase the size of what’s filtered
    Clay Shirky’s masterful talk at the Web 2.0 Clay explains in greater detail in this two part CJR interview: 1 2 ] Clay traces information overload to the 15th century, but others have taken it back earlier than that, and there’s even a quotation from Seneca (4 BCE) that can be pressed into service: “What is the point of having countless books and libraries whose titles the owner could scarcely read through in his whole lifetime?

  • 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 ). If microsharing tools resemble wikis more than conversational tools and social networks, this has huge implications for how people and organizations approach use of this emerging technology. 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.
