Berkman Center for Internet and Society is hosting a luncheon and live webcast (Can Creativity Be Crowdsourced?) on Tuesday to explore two new social networks: The Pool and ThoughtMesh, "designed to help collaborators and critics find and evaluate each other. Unlike existing publishing systems such as blogs and wikis, these networks aim to give ordinary users a 'big picture' as well, and include graphical and lexical tools that can help answer such questions as how networked creativity is enhanced or hurt by licensing choices, the number of contributors, and project lifespan."

I won't be able to attend, but if anyone else in the class does, please share any thoughts or takeaways on this post!

Thank you for the heads up on this.. unfortunately I will be at a conference all week.
I will keep my eye out for other things and post them if I come across anything interesting.
Thanks for sharing this -- I've never gone to any of these Berkman things (this little thing called work always seems to get in the way!)
