The internet was built for data transfer, yet we have long been trying to use it as a substitute for face-to-face interaction – with catastrophic results. Online business and social networks have been plagued by flaming (unregulated emotional outbursts), major misunderstandings, lack of cohesion, poor decision making, and loss of functionality. This is because emotional connection is vital for effective communication. Yet the channels for sending and receiving emotion are absent from the basic framework of virtual exchanges. In this dialogue, renowned internet theorist Clay Shirky describes how online groups function best, how the internet can be utilized to improve our society, and how social intelligence is changing the face of group interaction online.

Social Media is not about technology its about people
""Social Media is not about technology its about people" is an often quoted phrase in the blogosphere. I´m a fan of Clay Shirky's work, I found it visionary and insightful, and am always looking for new ideas from him. In this series Clay and Daniel Goleman explore the different facets of this new communication world that is emerging ... they discuss the truths, but also the hypes, putting in perspective a lot of themes. I especially liked Daniel´s interventions about the social aspects of humans. I think more and more we are going to rediscover that we are more social than we thought and we are going to see big shifts to the narcissistic and individualistic paradigm we´re now living. If you are interested in discovering Clay Shirky´s work or go deeper in his thinking I definitely recommend this audio. Being in the know of this subject it surely opened me to new perspectives. -alonso"
