Kenneth Lerer: How We Got Here and How We Get Out of Here
Transcript of Kenneth Lerer's speech at the Columbia Journalism School Annual New Media Lecture Series, April 23, 2009.
QUOTE
A lot of what we're seeing online today is actually a return, full circle, to the way things were when American newspapers began; a mixture of advocacy and investigative in-your-face journalism. There is a long and distinguished history of such newspapers -- from the papers that were fiercely loyal to Jefferson or Hamilton, to the abolitionist broadsheets, to the activist newspapers at the turn of the century. As my partner Arianna Huffington says, the mission of journalism has always been "truth-seeking, not striking some fictitious balance between two sides."

Is the Boulder model tenable for Ann Arbor?
Saw this in Boris Mann's FriendFeed (via his Google Reader bookmarks). Comment on Jason Mendelson of Foundry Group (which "funds primarily light-weight, inexpensive software startups") giving a talk in Ann Arbor. The push-back in the comment interesting insofar as it points to 2.0-bubble-ism and over-eagerness to build on clouds as opposed to "real things." But then again, one could ask, what are the real things? Isn't information real, too?

Gin, Television, and Social Surplus - Here Comes Everybody
Transcript of speech Shirky gave at April 23/08 Web2.0 conference. For me, ineresting to think about in relation to cities, and how industrialization created anxiety about and problems relating to crowding ("slums"). Now, "here comes *everybody*" means that there's another wave of "crowding" or ...crowds, and it's interesting to think about how this might play out.

The
transformation from rural to urban life was so sudden, and so
wrenching, that the only thing society could do to manage was to drink
itself into a stupor for a generation. The stories from that era
are amazing-- there were gin pushcarts working their way through the streets
of London.And
it wasn't until society woke up from that collective bender that we
actually started to get the institutional structures that we
associate with the industrial revolution today. Things like public libraries and
museums, increasingly broad education for children, elected leaders--a lot of
things we like--didn't happen until having all of those people
together stopped seeming like a crisis and started seeming like an
asset.It wasn't until people started thinking of this as a
vast civic surplus, one they could design for rather than just
dissipate, that we started to get what we think of now as an
industrial society. -

Logic+Emotion: Thinking Through The "3 U's"...
The 3 Us -- damn that apostrophe, it's all wrong as used in the article's title. But if you leave it out, it reads as "the 3 us," as in *us* or *them*... Regardless, an interesting summing up of what might make applications interesting for users. See notes.
