[...] I had the pleasure of chatting with Clay Shirky about Front Porch Forum after a talk he gave a couple months ago.  Now, I just watched the video of his presentation at Supernova 2007 and the following quote struck me… Standing from today, looking towards the future, you will make more accurate predictions about software, and, in this web-driven world, about services, if you ask yourself not “what’s the business model?” but rather “do the people who like it take care of each other?”  That turns out to be the better predictor of longevity.

[...] I finally got around to taking a peek at this video of Clay Shirky’s presentation at the Supernova 2007 conference in June. It’s relatively short and Shirky is a good speaker.

This was a great presentation and I loved his overall message. The capabilities of the Internet are limitless and we will continue to build on the progress we’ve made so far. The people that are in this industry and love what they do will continue to more than offset the negative things that take place on the Internet.

This is an information that is obviously of great value. I totally
agree with your statements.Thanks for sharing it!

[...] The nonsensical phrase “We get our Thursdays from a banana” needs to be used more, and people should know where it comes from: “We get our support from the Perl community.” [...]

Great video and I totally agree that the Internet is still in it’s infancy and will only continue to evolve over the next few years. It will be a very exciting ride…

[...] Threatening the livelihood of a problem solver is only the most exaggerated scenario for drawing out this odd pattern where he becomes the problem’s best friend.  The problem solver has affection for his tools, his profession, his institutions, his clients.  Deep affection.  When the shift happens and the displacement arrives these ties can not be casually unbound.  To me, that makes it a lot easier to sympathize with a what looks at first to be quite hypocritical behavior.  Gotta love ‘em.

Amazing video! I never knew the internet had so much potential left in it. Thanks!

Great video… very intuitive!
