'Free Will: How the Internet Is Changing Us,' a video conversation between
Will Wilkinson
&
Clay Shirky on ideas about group and the internet from Shirky's new book, Here Comes Everybody.
 
Topics in this video talk include the end of information
"gatekeepers"; "old fogies" bemoaning the end of a common culture;
getting labor out of love instead of money; group activity without the need for an overarching institution; crime
hot spots in Brazil; protest activity through FaceBook; and of course Wikipedia, Yahoo!, FaceBook, and blogs. The website involved, bloggingheads.tv, allows users to post links to sections or selections of the videos selected by the viewer by appending--for example--
in=00:25:03&out=00:27:03.
to the end of the video URL. This also means that subsection or topics in the video can be posted below the video for those who just want to watch or to quickly find that selection.
