This Wikinomics Thing Is Really Taking Off
The latest Techcrunch event, Techcrunch 40, is shining a spotlight on start-up companies that are all about enabling people to work together toward common goals. The power of the network is being leveraged to teach, to track investements, design electronic products and so much more.
Manifestations of wikinomics are popping up everywhere. This is about, "collaboration on an astronomical scale" according to chapter 11 in the Wikinomics playbook.
There is more room for an idea to take root than ever before. Each person can contribute more quickly and easily. Maybe we can all just get along, at least on the network. ;) The benefits are clear, sharing=winning. I knew that Sesame Street cooperation training I had when I was young was going to come in handy.
How true! Simple ideas like 'cooperating benefits everyone' are catching on business and technology, and I hope for a future when nations can follow suit ...
