How do we “sell” social media?
“Turns out Facebook is a
 lot like Facebook”Clay Shirky
“Bringing smart people
together is an ancient and
effective technique for
developing ideas. The Net also
lets smart people connect and
communicate. But the Net
brings people together in new
and occasionally weird
configurations—a weirdness
that is now being reflected in
how expertise works....”
