Clay Shirky: "Looking for the Mouse" talk from Web 2.0 Expo

This is the best talk I've seen all year. You can read it here, but I recommend the video since Clay speaks really well, and you should see his passion.

After the second time through, I noticed how well his TV producer stories worked for the momentum and interest of his talk. She was a character that he got into conflict with, and we pay more attention to his side when we think there's a person in a high (or at least rare) position who might win a point in the debate. (Spoiler: she doesn't.)
