Media is no longer just a source of information; it's a site of action. It's not just telling you what's going on. It holds out the possibility of people coordinating. Media leads to action, action leads to media.

Imagine if the only way Jimmy Wales could get a free encyclopedia was to protest Brittanica until they freed their encyclopedia? No way. Take that energy and online tools, and put it into the worlds of collective action. How do we take that energy seen for production and sharing, and bring it into the real world? If we don't address that, then we've only participated in a partial revolution.
