Why the internet is great in general and why Litsy is great in particular. 🌈 This 2008 book praising the internet as a tool for collaboration and action is a little dated, but it's got a great explanation of why Wikipedia works that I'm using in my #readinginadigitalage class this fall. I haven't read Shirky's later book; that's up next.
