Shirky speaks at Google on his book, Cognitive Surplus, and answers some interesting questions after the talk. It is mostly the same material as the TED talk, but more of it, with more details and examples and diagrams.

"On this week's show, Nora sits down with Bill Wasik and Hal Niedzviecki to talk about why the heck we post regrettable videos on the internet. It's one thing to do the embarrassing or foolish or inappropriate thing, but it's a whole other problem when we record a video and upload it on YouTube for the world to see."
