« Evening Sky | Main | The Profit of Doom » February 27, 2007In the Mail: WikinomicsIn the mail today from Amazon: Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything, a book that explains what MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and the Human Genome Project have in common. Also, a CD from Jack's Big Music Show for my son, who loves good music. Wikinomics moves to the top of my reading list. Just flicking through the pages I spotted a section on YouTube's role in last year's Israel-Hezbollah war, and an intelligent discussion of social media's impact on traditional journalism. "So get ready for the hyperempowered citizen. The new generation of digital citizens has the means of creation at their fingertips so that anything that involves information and culture is grist for the mill of self-organized production." In other words, the news isn't just the news business' business any more. Wikinomics is about much more than journalism in the digital era, and I look forward to reading the whole thing.
