"And it's easy to deride this
sort of thing as self-
absorbed publishing―why
would anyone put out such
drivel in public.
It's simple. They're not
talking to you.“
―Clay Shirky

10. Thesis 7
Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy

12. Thesis 11
People in networked markets
have figured out that they get far
better information and support
from one another than from
vendors.

14. Thesis 17
Companies that assume online
markets are the same markets
that used to watch their ads on
television are kidding themselves.

16. Thesis 41
Companies make a religion of
security, but this is largely a red
herring. Most are protecting less
against competitors than against
their own market and workforce.

18. Thesis 9
These networked conversations
are enabling powerful new forms
of social organization and
knowledge exchange to emerge.

23. Thesis 12
There are no secrets. The networked
market knows more than
companies do about their own
products. And whether the news is
good or bad, they tell everyone.

25. Thesis 50
Today, the org chart is hyperlinked,
not hierarchical. Respect for
hands-on knowledge wins over
respect for abstract authority.
