Insightful point from Clay Shirky:

(via that canadian girl and via Cambridge Business Lectures - transcript of the video available on craphound) Cory Doctorow is always worth watching: insightful, funny, often provocative and consistently knowledgeable. OK, so I’m a bit of a boingboing fanboy. And yes, the video was posted weeks ago, but I’m just now getting to it.

One danger of reviewing a book is the reality that the reviews ultimately say more about the reviewer, and the book he or she wishes had been written, than they do about the book which actually was written. It’s in that context that I offer this review of Groundswell, by Forrester Research analysts Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff, published by Harvard Business Press (note: disclaimers at the end of the post).

Via Jake McKee I just discovered this video of Chris Heuer interviewing Clay Shirky: Clay’s long been a favorite speaker of mine - Perl as an act of love and the cognitive surplus being two other videos featured here - and Chris does a great interview here.
