Harold Rheingold talks about web culture, smart mobs and community

Harold Rheingold, internet guru and author of Smart Mobs, gave a wide-ranging and fascinating talk on the linkages between "real" community and online community, the democratization of media production, the reaction from the traditional media giants, and his IM relationship with his wife.

Thanks to The Infinite Mind for making this stimulating event happen.
