(2002-12-09) Clay Shirky Social Software

Some links re Clay Shirky's Nov22 Social Software "summit". Photos , pre-announcement , discussion thread re racial/sexual quotas. I wish I'd been invited, too.

See Clay's article on the summit (and use of Back Channel chat - see also Steven Johnson on the Back Channel)... And my comments and questions... --Rgds, Ross Mayfield

Attendees: Tim OReilly, folks from Nokia, EY and the Information Law Institute, Brad Fitzpatrick from Live Journal, Rusty Foster from Kuro5hin, Cameron Marlow of BlogDex, Quinn Norton, Danny O Brien, BlackbeltJones (Matt Jones), Jessica Hammer, or even Ben Hammersley, even though he's written a book for me. And I defy anyone to find time spent with Clay, Cory Doctorow, Rael Dornfest, J C Herz, Steven Johnson, Ward Cunningham, Ray Ozzie... Jon Udell...

• Dave Winer: None of the leading developers of products in the areas covered were present, nor even the leading users.
