Clay Shirky at TPMCafe Book Club

Clay Shirky joins us this week at TPMCafe Book Club to talk about his new book, Here Comes Everybody. He opens the conversation by considering a couple of questions about social software-- and social status on the web. Are new ways to acquire social status (say, by achieving a level 75 Night Elf Roghe in World of Warcraft) a net gain, or a net loss?
