Clay Shirky’s insights on Institutions vs. Collaboration will help enabled you to consider this change and importantly it’s potential to effect your current or future initiatives.

Parts I like:
- Mass Amateurisation of typically professional roles (touching on pros and cons)
- How he has to define what Flickr is and what Tagging is. (As this was in 2005)
- His reference to Kubler-Ross model (a.k.a. The 5 stages of grief / dying)

The cooperative systems he talks about have now been around a little longer and some relevant and effected institutions have moved further down the Kubler-Ross model.
