I agree with your points about using The New Web ™ to help better the world instead of to feed our own egos.

Commercial or non-profit, organizations have an abundance of tools at their disposal to really help get their message out. And the best part is, most of them are free!

I think I’ll be going to tonight’s staging.

I just don’t think we know how to use them. Instead of becoming hopeless neophytes, we need to look at how we can proceed in a way which is going to produce something that is beneficial to society, other wise we’re going to raise up generations of very narcissistic people.

We have to get past the “cat on a ceiling fan” YouTube videos and look at creating art, movies, music, and writing which is challenge and transform our culture. I think its there and more of it is coming.

I’m curious about what exactly the knowledge = power equation looks like in a world of Web 2.0? Is it the people who can filter the “good” and the “bad”? Who shapes those norms? How can they change? Because, I think Keen’s thesis is largely off….unless you’re a person can’t filter the information. In that world, it may just be on-point.
