Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody

I have finally gotten around to reading Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody. It’s truly brilliant and here is a taste from the supporting blog [which unfortunately seemed to run out of steam in May]:

Most user-generated material is actually personal communication in a public forum. Because of this personal address , it makes no more sense to label this content than it would to call a phone call with your mother “family-generated content.” A good deal of user-generated content isn’t actually “content” at all, at least not in the sense of material designed for an audience. Instead, a lot of it is just part of a conversation. Mainstream media has often missed this, because they are used to thinking of any group of people as an audience.

iTunes and Augmented Intelligence?

“iTunes allows researchers (radiologists) to save, sort and search personal learning files -augmented intelligence” [via SmartEconomy].
