Small-Business Guide - Enlisting a Global Work Force of Freelancers - NYTimes.com

"An array of freelance marketplaces are making services tradable online, much as eBay and Craigslist made goods tradable a decade ago. These sites include general freelance marketplaces (Guru, Elance, oDesk) and others offering specialties like software (Rent A Coder), personal assistants (virtualassistants.com), graphics (99designs), or creative services (CrowdSpring)."

It is this social aspect of knowledge that the next generation knowledge tools, and next generation of users, will seek to magnify and support.

The Power Of Us

  • Ultimately, all this could point the way to a fundamental change in the way people work together. In 1968, ecologist Garrett Hardin popularized the notion of the tragedy of the commons. He noted that public resources, from pastures and national parks to air and water, inevitably get overused as people act in their own self-interest. It's a different story in the Information Age, contends Dan Bricklin, co-creator of the pioneering PC software VisiCalc and president of consultant Software Garden Inc. in Newton Highlands, Mass.


    Instead, he says, there's a cornucopia of the commons. That rich reward may be worth all the disruption we've seen and all the more still to come.

Five Strategies to Facilitate Successful Group Collaboration

  • 5 strategies to facilitate successful group collaborations
    1.    Model collaborative behavior: it's influential to display
    collaborative behavior.  It increases the chances that other people will do
    the same.
    2.    Teach collaboration: training and instruction are important,
    especially in the beginning to set a tone of cooperation instead of
    competition.
    3.    Support a strong sense of community: creating a cooperative
    environment is important and interaction facilitates this.  The interactions
    can be formal or informal.
    4.    Reward collaboration in performance reviews: distribute rewards among
    group members.  This encourages accountability.
    5.    Find leaders attentive to tasks and relationships: social and
    emotional connections often get overlooked, but they do determine what kind
    of participation people give and with what enthusiasm.

We-think: The power of mass creativity - Charles Leadbeater

  • Welcome to We-think: mass innovation, not mass production


    We Think explores how the web is changing our world, creating a culture in which more people than ever can participate, share and collaborate, ideas and information.


    Ideas take life when they are shared. That is why the web is such a potent platform for creativity and innovation.


    It's also at the heart of why the web should be good for : democracy, by giving more people a voice and the ability to organise themselves; freedom, by giving more people the opportunity to be creative and equality, by allowing knowledge to be set free.


    But sharing also brings with it dilemmas.


    It leaves us more open to abuse and invasions of privacy.


    Participation is not always a good thing: it can just create a cacophony.


    Collaboration is sustained and reliable only under conditions which allow for self organisation.


    Everywhere we turn there will be struggles between people who want to freely share - music, films, ideas, information - and those who want to control this activity, either corporations who want to make money or governments who fear debate and democracy. This conflict between the rising surge of mass collaboration and attempts to retain top down control will be one of the defining battles of our time, from Communist China, to Microsoft's battle with open source and the music industry's desperate rearguard action against the web.


    Below you can download the first three chapters of We Think.
