Innovation in the music industry - in this case, bandcamp provides a prebuilt yet customizable platform for bands/artists to not only host their music, but also to manage ecommerce, buzz tracking, and real analytics on their tracks. No more quarterly, arms-length reporting from the label - it's all in YOUR hands, as the artist.

Interesting premise, nicely described, and slightly above and beyond other "voting-driven" platforms. But what about real decision-making and debate/deliberation-oriented work? And are *all* projects *always* democratically controlled with one vote per person? Lovely idea, except for the projects/work that has to get done, whether anyone particularly wants to do it (financials, shipping rather than adding on to software, etc.).

Anyone using bettermeans or alternatives? What are the pros/cons you've experienced?

From the site:
"We need a new agreement of how we work together. How we make decisions. How we decide on who gets to work on what. And who gets paid what.

Groups of people can work together intelligently, without getting bogged down in endless meetings, or slow decision making. No bossing needed.

Open source software and wikipedia, are just two examples of large groups working together efficiently without fixed heirarchy.

Bettermeans lets you use the same decision-making rules, and self-organizing principles behind open source to run your project."

Why re-invent? Examine a collection of existing design patterns that others have already winnowed, and steal, er, learn from working models.

I've said it before - many different types/styles of collaboration. This is light-weight, but that's the point. Faster and easier feedback beats little to no feedback, every time.

"Protonotes are notes that you add to your prototype that allow project team members to discuss system functionality, design, and requirements directly on the prototype. You can think of it like a discussion board/wiki in direct context of your prototype. "

Interesting experimentation by Wegmans with Twitter - they have a real opportunity to tighten the feedback loop with customers in realtime. But will it scale? Do they have the back-end procesess to handle feedback without falling over themselves as Dell, Comcast and others are doing? Beyond pilot experiments, getting to sustainable participation is a definite challenge.

Good (and growing) list of Google Wave bots - interesting to see how people are extending wave beyond humans and pure system-to-system mashups, to include realtime bots.

If Intelligence agencies, and now The Army can loosen up and allow viewing/participation in 2.0 - what's YOUR company's excuse for blocking? Hearing real stories from real soldiers is pretty radical transparency - yet with guidelines (not a bad idea).

"The Army has ordered its network managers to give soldiers access to social media sites like Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, Danger Room has learned. That move reverses a years-long trend of blocking the web 2.0 locales on military networks."

As mentioned on @stevegarfield's qik video - http://qik.com/stevegarfield#v=664377 - mentioned as a way to quickly get files you're going to want to read on your Kindle (not that I have one, yet) or other mobile device. Quickly PDF and e-mail to that device, and you're good to go.

"Use PDF Download to do whatever you like with PDF files on the Web. Regain control of them and eliminate browser problems, view PDFs directly in Firefox as HTML, and use the all-new Web-to-PDF toolbar to save and share Web pages as high-quality PDF files."
