Clay Shirky: How twitter can make history

Clay Shirky is a known voice in the internet space, a Professor at NYU teaching ‘Social Weather’ at the Interactive Telecommunications Program. He’s also an excellent speaker and a frequent visitor at TED.com.

His latest lecture is worth watching twice, to fully understand the message. Clay goes over recent revolutions in the telco industry that enable all of us to collaborate and share. And according to him, twitter is already changing the world (iranelection, obamacampaign, china). I really liked what he said about conversation and groups (mid-way into the lecture):

Unlike past telco inventions (print, tv and radio), the internet (and twitter) is the first communication tool that enables us to make conversation and create groups – at the same time.

Enough of me, just watch the lecture (17:03):
