And I love the...Thanks very much for the book plug! And I love the idea of the book club - the five "objectives" are at the core of the book. <BR/><BR/>And David, agreed that "Here Comes Everybody" is an absolutely fantastic book. My copy is heavily annotated, underlined, and dog eared! Clay's book and "Groundswell" are a good combo -- the "why" and the "how", respectively.Charlene Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590192476054455890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-46742267239391930032008-08-04T05:44:00.000-07:002008-08-04T05:44:00.000-07:00Groundswell seems to be the topic of conversation ...Groundswell seems to be the topic of conversation in many places these days! We were just discussing it in the offices of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum last week. Haven't gotten a copy yet, but now I almost certainly will.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I'm currently reading Clay Shirky's Here Comes Everybody" (check out his writings at <A>http://www.shirky.com/herecomeseverybody/</A>). It's very readable -- and as of Chapter 3, it is quite good.David Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781679887018899941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-22586602331399846292008-07-31T19:45:00.000-07:002008-07-31T19:45:00.000-07:00Not just products -- but scholarship!Just think if...Not just products -- but scholarship!<BR/><BR/>Just think if the next exhibit you went to at a museum had a companion website of footnotes? With a link to an Amazon store?<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it be awesome not just to curate, but to satiate an audience desire to know more? To be able to use an exhibit as a starting point for an audience to pursue more reading and scholarship?<BR/><BR/>Sure this is going to be the entire audience. It might even be just a small sliver? But microtargeting small groups or pieces of a larger audience is what the web does best. In part because the web lowers the cost of slicing and dicing the audience into such small target groups through easily deployable, off the shelf technologies.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip on the book. I've read Geoff Livingstone's The Future is Gone, but Groundswell sounds like something I also must read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
