Jon Lebkowsky Interviews Clay Shirky

It’s worth reading every word when Jon Lebkowsky and Clay Shirky come together and publish a conversation. This happened last month, and promises to continue next month.

Clay Shirky, inveterate thinker and writer about the Internet, fresh from launching his book, Here Comes Everybody, is the person to talk to about how social groups organize themselves and take action that brings results, using the Web platform to do the heavy lifting.

The conversation is ripe with promise of action, and change.
