Great guide to directions for recapturing the dream of new media and how it can augment human collaboration.

For some complementary perspectives, see this series in Tech Policy Press by Chris Riley and me:

1. Delegation, Or, The Twenty Nine Words That The Internet Forgot

2. Understanding Social Media: An Increasingly Reflexive Extension of Humanity

3. Community and Content Moderation in the Digital Public Hypersquare

4. Contending for Democracy on Social Media and Beyond

...And our much shorter and more news-based piece this week: The Future of Twitter is Open, or Bust.

One theme we add is the power of smarter, more modest, computer algorithmic tools for augmenting human wisdom, in the form of reputation-based filters that enhance collaboration, discovery, and serendipity – and for scaling a global village that interlinks local communities of interest and value beyond what human moderation alone can do. (One example of such strategies: The Augmented Wisdom of Crowds: Rate the Raters and Weight the Ratings.)
