Social Networking Info From The Web
Social Networking in Plain English
ndividuals working with one another via social networks are a growing force in our economy and society. The phenomenon has many manifestations, and goes by many names-"peer production," "social production," "smart mobs," the "wisdom of crowds," "crowdsourcing," and "the commons." The basic point is that socially created value is increasingly competing with conventional markets, as GNU/Linux has famously shown. Through an open, accessible commons, one can efficiently tap into the "wisdom of the crowd," nurture experimentation, accelerate innovation, and foster new forms of democratic practice.
This is why so many ordinary people-without necessarily having degrees, institutional affiliations or wealth-are embarking upon projects that, in big and small ways, are building a new order of culture and commerce. ~~David Bollier
