The strength of YouTube isn’t the mass of copyrighted material and television shows, many of which have been purged. Rather, it’s the loyal community of viewers and users who upload content. That’s what Google was buying and what other media compani

Kim suggests “game mechanics” as a framework to create services that are more fun, compelling and addictive. Boy, it seems incredibly obvious now: As YouTube’s popularity has skyrocketed, so has its alignment with these five key elements of game mec

So far, the value chain just belongs to Google - which really doesn't count - viz their recent lameness in China (which sucks so hard, it's awesome). How about a public search engine? How about things like Psiphon? That's what the CC kru should be doing (

And that’s that you quickly realize that the members of the community feel strongly that the service belongs to them, and the control that you, the corporation, think you have is actually, in large part, an illusion.it will be the people themselves who

Die alten VC-Weisheiten werden bei Firmen, die ihr Leben aus der Community beziehen, nicht mehr gelten. Communitymanagement im Internet ist ein absoluter Scheissjob, done that, nie wieder, danke, lustig und lukratiuv wie ein Flohzirkus in der Unterhose.

But a second and also extremely difficult problem is how, or whether, the economies can be linked. Is there a way to cross over from the commercial to second economy? Is there a way to manage a hybrid economy — one that tries to manage this link.
