Great video here from Clay Shirky on how social media has permanently changed the media and communication landscape.

He reviews some powerful moments such as the citizen journalism that happened during last year’s earthquake in China, and recent user interactions with Obama.

Coincidently, I was reading yesterday of the collapse of a building in Brooklyn. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. The news came via the local, The New York Times local news channel that harnesses citizen journalism and bloggers

Funny, i was driving by the collapse site later that evening. Myrtle was still blocked off to traffic and there were lots of news trucks parked on the nearby blocks.  When i got home, the first place i looked for information on what had happened was my RSS reader. 4 different Clinton Hill centric blogs had info and images within 15 mins of the collapse.
