Clay Shirky: institutions vs.collaboration; presentation at TED

I thought the video of Clay Shirky: institutions vs.collaboration; and the presentation at TED was interesting for many reasons.  I saw it referenced on the OT Post in reference to the mathematical explanation of the distribution of posters.  Statistically it is called a power law distribution curve, and is a very common form for social networks.  More noteworthy to me is the relevance of the impact on contributions in an organizations and the impact of technology.  Scott Cohen, Dimestore Media
