In this podcast Craig Newmark, the opening keynote speaker for the Online Information Conference 2011, previews his presentation.
After sharing an overview of his background, Craig talks about the inception and growth of what became a poster-child of the web, craigslist and the ambitions of his more recent venture, to connect the world for the common good, craigconnects.org.
We discuss how today’s social media has echoes from the past, from the times of Gutenberg and St Paul, before moving on to speculate on the future impacts of today’s emerging influences.
