  Clay Shirky: How cellphones, Twitter, Facebook can make history

  While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.

  Errors of Omission

  We’ve made many errors. People over-focus on errors of commission. Companies over-emphasize how expensive failure’s going to be. Failure’s not that expensive….The big cost that most companies incur are much harder to notice, and those are errors of Omission.

  - Jeff Bezos on errors of Omission

  Be willing to fail - Jeff Bezos at Wired Disruptive by Design conference

  There are a few prerequisites to inventing…. You have to be willing to fail. You have to be willing to think long term. You have to be willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time. If you can’t do those three things, you need to limit yourself to sustaining innovation…. You typically don’t get misunderstood for sustaining innovation.

  - Jeff Bezos (via tedr)

  Social media enhances the emotional dimension of news - Ideas Project

  Clay Shirky says that the dissemination of news events via social media has heightened the role of emotion. The instantaneous manner with which users of platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are inclined to pick up, modify, and share messages favors excitement over objectivity.
