I'm facilitating a roundtable today at the SCRA Southeastern Region Eco Conference at USC in Columbia, South Carolina on the topic of Web 2.0 and Social Change. I'm starting off with 3 provocative propositions to get discussion going:

1. Communities, community betterment, social movements, and social change are the products of the human talent for accomplishing complex tasks together.
2. Web 2.0 enables us to learn, argue, deliberate, transact, and organize on scales and at paces that were never before possible.
3. A particular kind of literacy is necessary for the potential power of communication networks to manifest

Below are some of the resources I mentioned in the roundtable. I'll ask participants to post some reactions in the comment section.
