If you are in Helsinki this week, you might like to know that David Weinberger, co-author of the The Cluetrain Manifesto and Fellow at the Harvard's Berkman Institute for Internet & Society gives a talk on Thursday 6:00 pm at the Helsinki School of Economics (Chydenia building - PWC -sali, G-112. The address is Runeberginkatu 22-24, Helsinki).
Topic: The New Shape of Knowledge
"As businesses and media have looked at blogs, they've seen reflections of themselves. This continues a misunderstanding of the Web so persistent that it probably should count as a form of denial.Blogs are not a new form of journalism or primarily consist of teenagers whining about their teachers. Blogs are not even primarily a form of individual expression. They are better understood as conversations. This makes them just one more part of the transformation the Web is working on our social fabric, including the relationship of customers to businesses, employees to managers and business to society."
The event is free and open to the public. Please forward this information to any and all who might be interested.
