Blog # 11

Here Comes Everybody was an interesting read for me. The reason is because it was the book I was required to read for my book panel presentation and for my book review. It is a great book that helps the reader understand how groups of people are able to use media and the Internet to gather in an organized manner without the need of some institutionalized organization.

The most interesting parts of the book for me were the parts that detailed how people were able to cooperate and come to a result. The best example of this was when Shirky explained the creation of Wikipedia and how it continues to be run today. There are a large number of contributors to articles on the Wikipedia website and it somehow manages to not be in disarray.
