One of my favorite podcasts is the radio show On The Media. Last week’s episode included a great interview with Clay Shirky. His new book, Here Comes Everybody, depicts this online world, driven by networks that grow and act in never-before-seen ways.

Read the transcript or listen to the Interview. I feel this gives some good perspective on our future challenges in this medium.

The best take away from this inteview is the opening line:

“So it’s an old notion, isn’t it? Wasn’t it Ben Franklin who first observed that the Internet builds communities? What’s new here?”
