Flick Photo by Thomas Hawk. I'm trying to embrace two ideas here - the idea of open source thinking and wikitation. Allison Fine 's book, Momentum, has a whole chapter on what she calls " Open Source Thinking ," and how it is key to successfully using these new tools. So, I remixed it for the audience.

In the beginning, TechSoup’s Marnie Webb, Daniel Ben-Horin, and Billy Bicket created NetSquared to "remix the web for social change." To get going, they built the first NetSquared website using open-source Drupal. You had to say something on the blog, or post a photo on Flickr, or organize a Meetup.

Flickr photo from jhritz NpDigg: The Insect Antennae? It is based on some open source code called Pligg that creates a "digg" like interface. The nptech tag stream (plus other sources) has been imported, so you can comment and vote on tagged items. Hence, they're pretty lousy photos. Some reactions here.
