Here is another example of content conceived of as signifier, rather than the container of right or wrong interpretations. Of course, once you ask the questions, you see the answers everywhere. That is why it is important to ask new questions.

(the actions that occur when you have the plausible promise, the
effective tool and the acceptable bargain in place) makes possible,
Shirky says, is that large scale group activities and political/social
actions that once required an expensive, hierarchical organization to
accomplish, can now be done by self-managed collaborative groups -- and
faster, cheaper, and more congenially to boot. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/2009/05/24.html">When these costs of hierarchy
exceed the benefits they produce, 'markets' of organizations start to
outperform single monolithic 'organizations'.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/2009/05/24.html"><SPAN>we make meaning out of
