Video Clip: What is a blog? - Howard Rheingold
Friday, November 11, 2005Howard Rheingold is the author of Smart Mobs, a truly fascinating book about the transformations that our wired civilization interconnected via mobile devices is about to experience. Howard is a fascinating scholar of cooperation technologies and a infatiguable explorer of new and effective ways to make humans collaborate more effectively.
A cyberpioneer, Howard Rheingold has published another great book on the topic of virtual communities, as well as one on Tools for Thought.
I have had the opportunity to interview Howard for TheWeblogProject in his zen-like backyard in Mill Valley, California, just north of San Francisco.
Howard is a very clear and articulate speaker and I think that his long refined ability to synthesize and summarize while using a plain and simple language gives him the ability of providing a short but extremely effective description of what blogs really are.
This is the first one of three excellent clips we shot together that day.
