    Good book on how to organize without buildings or official structures. Some cool diagrams too. but a bit repetitive towards the end.

    A case by case look at how social tools are revolutionizing community organization. It put in perspective how powerful the social tools can be if utilized correctly.

    Eye opener on the effect of social media tools on everyday life; from making connections with people around the world to how a cell phone's camera can keep a revolution in front of the world.

    Loved Shirkey on TED talk and followed up with this book. Great examples of the impact of new tools on our daily living.

    Louise says..."For me this is the definitive text on how the social web is changing the way we do things, including learn. There is a strong sentiment that exposure to new tools and approaches can only make the world richer, but that it is richer not because of the tools or approaches but what people bring to the mix."

    I decided to read this book after seeing a great TED talk bu Clay Shirky on this particular topic - on how technology has lowered the cost of forming groups and as such has opened up a plethora of social activity that was never possible before. The book highlighted the power of the newly enabled social activity through excellent examples and was supported by social research/group theory.

    It's a slow read (It was for me, at least) but the examples are pretty important to understand.
