Social software weblog

"Many to many" is a new weblog on the subject of "social software". Joint authors: Liz Lawley, Clay Shirky, Ross Mayfield, Sébastien Paquet, and Jessica Hammer - quite an interesting crew.

Whether they can help define the "connection age" or simply comment on the mechanisms of its unfolding, this should be worth watching.

As someone here wrote some time ago,

...it appears that the transformational dynamic of this era is our newfound ability to make a connection with each other, at the same time or at different times, in the same place or in different places, and to have a meaningful and purposeful interaction as a result of that connection. In short, we find ourselves at the advent of the Connection Age.
