framing questions – Wealth of Networks and Here Comes Everybody

1.  I’m interested in the emergence of the “networked information economy” and how the “broad range of laws and institutions” will affect this emergence.

2.  How will the “diversity of production strategies” influence “user-driven innovation” and the open system of sharing ideas, technologies (shareware, etc.) that the Internet is becoming?

3.  In the chapter Publish Then Filter in “Here Comes Everybody” Shirky talks about how, formerly, filtering the good from the mediocre happened before publication.  He says now filtering is “increasingly social, and happens after the fact.”  How is this done?
