The Power of Social Media

Clay Shirky discusses his new book Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations (Note: the site may have issues with IE6 so try a better browser) where he looks at the dynamics behind flashmobbing and the new paradigm of ridiculously easy group forming (sharing, conversation, collaboration, collective action). Its particularly a very interesting video presentation for anyone interested in social media, group dynamics or developing Web 2.0 applications.
