Dan Gillmor gave an excellent presentation today. Web 2.0 and all that jazz? Yes.

But not just the usual, some useful insight into the need for better training of both journalist and audience -- something along the lines of how to "read" the news.

Did he mention "The Wisdom of Crowds"? Funnily enough, no, not once.

I attended a conference on Engagement, Social Media and the Internal Communication Revolution. A mixed bag of goodies. One thing stood out in everyone's presentation over those two days, 6-7 June, that's for sure -- the book of the moment is "The Wisdom of Crowds".
