The networked nature of cyberspace
Ulises Mejias has a slideshow presentation, Networked participation: Wisdom of crowds or stupidity of masses, stating:
So I’m going to be talking about the rules imposed by the network for participating in this social whole. Some people say those rules limit our individual freedoms and make us into compliant masses. Others believe that the rules of networked participation signal a new era of freedom and engagement. I won’t be able to offer any definite answers, but I hope I can at least contribute by presenting you with some thoughts on what the social world looks like when you are part of a network, and what kinds of action the rules of networked participation allow.
To see the slideshow, you’ll need the Opera browser. Otherwise, you can just read the slides.
