Thoughts on an empty space
As the world kept him thinking in turns so would the blank, empty, undiluted space in the upper right corner of his unimaginative American blog. It left itself for last - as if it knew it was much too smart for him - as if the search bar that had once been there was an overture to another space in time - as if that corner meant more than it really did.

Clay Shirky on Gin, Television and the Social Cognitive Surplus
This is a fairly short, extremely relevant speech given by Clay Shirky at the Web 2.0 conference on April 23, 2008. It’s an absolute must view if you want to understand the ongoing shift from passive to active, participatory media. I also highly recommend Shirky’s latest book Here Comes Everybody for the same reason. The more I see, hear, and read from Clay the more I am convinced that he is without a doubt one of the most important and inspiring social media and technology thinkers in the world.
If you want like reading instead (or if you just want to thumb your nose at Steve Jobs) here is the text on Clay’s blog.
