Well actually he was preceded by Conference Chair Adrian Dale who popped up this fascinating counter on the screen. Although a simulation, it drives home just how much information is being created.

"When have I seen wikis work the best?" Thanks to Noah Flower for posting his thoughtful response to my last post (about working wikily), and closing with that question. By way of answering, I'd like to quote from the pre-eminent prophet of working wikily, Clay Shirky.

Love this bit from Clay Shirky : Businesses don't survive in the long term because old people persist in old behaviors; they survive because young people renew old behaviors, and all the behaviors young people are renewing cluster around reading, while they are adopting almost none of the behaviors tied to cherishing physical containers , whether for the written word or anything else....
