Clay Shirky on the dynamic changes caused by the printing press and the internet:

I'm a huge Clay Shirky fan and have posted about him many times in the past.

Here is why he thinks email trumps Facebook.

Here and here are his two presentations at the TED conference.

Here is a video of his lecture at the Berkman Center at Harvard.

You can see the rest of the posts about him here.

I highly recommend his book Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations. It's an insightful, accessible look at the how social media is changing our world.
