1.8: Action
Moving from conversations to action Other Information:
The collaborative action of people is able to achieve seemingly unachievable goals: experiences such as ZooGalaxy and Wikipedia
show that mass collaboration can help achieve disruptive innovation. Yet too often web- based collaboration is confined to
complaints and discussions, rather than action. As one blogger put it, paraphrasing Marx: "Philosophers have only interpreted
the world: the point is to complain about it".4 For example, the recent Italian elections saw an explosion of activity in
social media discussing about the different candidates. This energy then which then failed to translate into concrete action
in the aftermath of the elections. (REF)
