“Hot Tubbing an Online Community”Clay Shirky posted a really interesting article on Many to Many today – “Hot Tubbing an Online Community” No.. this has nothing to do with getting online community people together in a hottub. Read it – it’s fascinating (particularly to those interested in what to do when a community gets too large). 3 comments to “Hot Tubbing an Online Community” |

…I didn’t know the online community all got in a hot tub, but alright. Lol. *goes back to her …whatever the fuck she was doing* anyway…
interesting… but i was expecting that after a few iterations of changing the code, the hot tub owner was going to turn out to have come up with a better, longer-lasting solution to the problem than simply changing the code every so often. at the very least, it seems that, in the context of the internet, there ought to be a better solution than simply killing the list and starting a new one…
But i think that’s what is so cool about this – the simplicity of some solutions to affect larger scale processes. In many ways, it reminds me of what Giuliani’s goons did in NYC – simple changes with long term social impact.
