FYI: Group as User: Flaming and the Design of Social Software

An interesting article:

Group as User: Flaming and the Design of Social Software by Clay Shirky

 

Addendum - I should note that this article has nothing to do with gardening or plants, but rather to do with online communications via social software. My interest in the article stems from the observations and thoughts that have emerged by providing this tool (the bulletin board software) for discussion and communication.

It's probably not everyone's cup of tea to read it, but I think it important that people know that we at the garden are engaged in how to most effectively use and manage the tool and its ramifications.
