Blog, week 11; Aggregation

This is a video blog on Aggregation. It discusses some readings from Weeks 11 and 12, in particular, Guillaud's (2010) and Edward's (2010) readings, and the trend towards aggregation on a global scale, the positive effects of this, and the tools needed to develop a global aggregation of information that can be accessible to the wider community. I can provide the written form of this blog if required.

[I’m hoping these remain available, which is likely .. it's very worthwhile buying and reading this book. I've done so and it's really quite something]
