Clay Shirky (whose book “Here Comes Everybody” is on my must-read list) at TED in 2005, talking about how the internet is revolutionising co-ordination and groups by shedding institutions. “Flickr replaces planning with co-ordination…” Also, photos of a mermaid parade! Good stuff.
Wonderful group blog from Tor, featuring stuff on SciFi and Fantasy fiction and media, science, games, allsorts… Featuring some free novels from Tor writers until Sunday! Very cool, worth bookmarking if you’re into any of these subjects.
