In the book "Here Comes Everyone" Clay Shirky claims that Web 2.0 gives us, for the first time in history, the tools we need to change the world. Marc Osten (www.summitcollaborative.com) our next hotseat host, asks us whether in fact this leads us yet again down a dangerous road to social inaction and ineffectiveness.

co-pilot.net:
art, technology and social change

co-pilot.net
is an open resource designed to connect knowledge, ideas and
experiences among artists, organisations and people interested in
this area. It aims to be an accessible and useful shared tool for
those who use, or seek to use, creative technologies to work with
people and / or realise public work. If this sounds like you, come
and join, share, and gain insight and inspiration by visiting
http://co-pilot.net.

 co-pilot.net
features case studies, a growing list of useful resources, videos and
interviews with artists including Loraine Leeson, Manu Luksch and
Mukul Patel, Stacy Makishi and Lois Weaver. Until Christmas 2008 co-
pilot.net will host invited contributors who will post thoughts and
/or provocations to stir up the debate in the site's forums. As a
subscriber, you can add content, comment on topics emerging through
the forums and point people towards other projects, resources and
ideas – including your own.

Hannah Beardon recently challenged us to focus some of our discussion on people, power and how technology makes a difference ... rather than just talking about tools:
