Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Groups of people are incredibly hard to organize. That’s why until now, only large corporations could generally afford to buy the tools and build the infrastructure which were required to sync the joint efforts of lots of people. That’s about to change. For effectively the first time in history, a whole bevy of new social tools are coming to prominence which make it easy for groups to collaborate and take collective action.
What this means for commerce is the environment in which the game of business is played has changed. You need to find ways to make these new social tools work for you rather than against you. Doing so will be an ongoing challenge, but if you ignore these tools, you run the risk of missing out on some interesting commercial opportunities.
“We are living in the middle of a remarkable increase in our ability to share, to cooperate with one another, and to take collective action, all outside the framework of our traditional institutions and organizations. Though many of these social tools were first adopted by computer scientists and workers in high-tech industries, they have spread beyond academic and corporate settings. Their effects are going to be widespread and momentous.”
– Clay Shirky

Summary of Here Comes Everybody (Clay Shirky)
1. Sharing
Groups are complex entities but the new generation of social tools are well suited to the demands of building and then maintaining strong groups. The act of sharing anchors the community.
At one time, only very well resourced corporations could afford to hire and maintain a workforce. There was an imperative, therefore, that these people did productive work so as to repay the direct costs involved. That meant marginal value activities were never attempted. The new generation of social tools are changing that dynamic because they dramatically lower and often even eliminate entirely the costs of coordinating group action.
Social tools work because they allow loosely structured groups to come together and achieve common aims, without any requirement for formal management and even outside the profit motive. With groups, people do things because they want to do them, not because they’re afraid of getting fired if they don’t.
There’s often a natural progression to the use of social tools:
