Between reading Groundswell I’ve also been reading Here Comes Everybody, which discusses the social impact of web 2.0 technology and the ways that people mobilise around issues that concern them by forming online groups and so on.

The site’s been live now for 11 weeks, and yesterday’s visitors helped take the adsense earnings for July alone to over $100 – in only 9 days.
