You might have already seen this talk (it's from 2005), but just in case... I think it complements the discussions we had the firsts days of class about communications and new media. The speaker focuses on blogs, bringing up a point that I think we missed, and it's a phenomenon that I find pretty interesting: how networks and collective thinking shape the individual thinking, which at the same time determines the collective thinking... a bit of a loop =) Well, it could be summarized in: collective intelligence, and let's say "collective dumbness".
(During approximately the first 5 minutes he basically talks about the tsunami of 2004 in Indonesia)
