Shirky Interview

February 17, 2009

The O’Reilly Radar posted a great interview with Clay Shirky, where he talks about the economics of group action, job-related stuff, and the importance of ambitious/flexible business models. I was particularly interested in his comments about “information overload” and what that means for searching/filtering online… The video’s about 18 minutes long, and I think it’s worth checking out.

Also, the interviewer referred to Web 2.0 as “two-dot-oh,” which I haven’t heard said aloud before…

I myself also feel overload sometimes. Google brings “xxxxxxxxxxxxx search results”; you can’t always find useful information in the first page Google gives you.

I just feel individual (at least myself) is insignificant, drown in numorous information. I can hardly understand the movie “Matrix”, who is going to have the power to organize and to create?
