David – count me as another giggling fanboy of Steven Johnson. Emergence is a fantastic book, and I need to find the time to read the rest of books as well.

As for politics and emergence? Not my bag – but it certainly seems that mainstream media still has a much bigger, pointed, and repetitive mouthpiece to wield, for both good and ill. There’s a reason I don’t watch the news…

Cheers,
Dan

grazie D,

I think understanding the long tail gave a lot of more grip to the local
but do you think the internet really scale ?
I can t make my mind of this yet

couldn’t it depend on how big your local is? a question of scale

it seams that mixing community organization with networking
is defenetly doing the job for obama

I ve just recived his recruiting msg on facebook
for distribuiting communities organizers around the states
the old ‘glocal’ thing seams to have finally filled its meaning
with some substance

I wish more info were available on how he’s running his campaign
do you have any insight ?
