Maybe I should name this west coast lunchtime listen ;-) Be that as it may, Clay Shirky [2] gave a talk last month (click on the image to get to the video) at the Berkman Center for internet and Society [3] covering some of the ideas from his incredible new book Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations [4]. The focus of the talk is Shirky's notions about the enabling power of the Web and along the way he has a lot of interesting things to say about sharing, conversation, collaboration and collective action. There's a lot of power in sharing and Shirky points to several interesting examples of that power.
