I would like to recommend two works of fiction by Daniel Suarez that, to me, seemed to brilliantly extrapolate on the idea of a post-Gutenburg world. The books are called Daemon and Freedom. Enjoy-

I do agree with you.
I am focused on the use of the post-gutenberg media in risk and emergency management, and what you say could be apply also on this topic. Talking about resilience is to talk about the knowledge and wisdom of the crowd to cope with disasters. In disasters content, conversation and community could make the difference.
Despite this fact, not many countries or bodies are aware of the new framework in which they are supposed to act. [Sometimes they just think that having a facebook page means to be in the stream. ] A incredible good point of your article is also what you say about the process. Building trust through a clear and open process. This could science-fiction, as the uncertainty of the process built the consensus and subordination.
Moreover this revolution redesign the competence and skills within the organizations to manage content, conversations, communities.
We are living a major cultural challenge. A change that could have a very slow pace.
But we keep moving forward.
Thanks again!

As an older devotee to the printed text I am on the way to being converted to use of social media. This article certainly helps. Placing social media in a sociological,political and economic context makes it more meaningful for me. I am passing it on to others of my generation who are sceptical.
