OK...this conference is underway! first up is the keynote from smart mobs author - howard rheingold - stay tuned.
title: innovation and collective action
publishing company - activism? oreilly
my lord the shirt is enough to blind me...
hey - howard thinks we are unique :)
sounds like howard is going to emphasise political activism and innovation...
howard wants us to innovate our way out of the enclosures growing around us...think ican here folks...even the graphics look eerily matt jonesish (but much more simplistic)
howard defines collective action as people volutarily working together to create, communicate, deliberate, coordinate, agree, exchange, link
suggesting that the technology itself promotes collective action - unix, internet, open source et al.
at the same time as i am listening and typing I am also participating in a community environment that is made up of the folks in the room...cool!
