Our social tools are not an improvement to modern society, they are a challenge to it.

Society doesn't need newspapers. What we need is journalism... When we shift our attention from ‘save newspapers’ to ‘save society’, the imperative changes from ‘preserve the current institutions’ to ‘do whatever works.’ And what works today isn’t the same as what used to work.

It’s not information overload. It’s filter failure.

When you got a cell phone you stopped making plans. 'I'll call you when I get there.'

If what you're doing is valuable for people, they will find a way to pay you to keep doing it.

Unlike sharing, where the group is mainly an aggregate of participants, cooperating creates group identity.

When you adopt a tool you adopt the management philosophy embedded in that tool.
