share more informationwe're trying to set free all the information in our lives. it seems we don't like holding onto it. youtube, facebook, twitter, wikipedia, email, cell phones, flickr, smugmug, tinypic, blogspot, wordpress, typepad, livejournal, napster, bittorrent, the pirate bay, myspace, digg, reddit, the smoking gun, thumbdrives, 3g, the memory hole, gnu, linux, public library of science, openoffice, gimp, git, png, svg, ogg, vlc, miro, sex tapes, porn, open course ware, yahoo groups, craigslist, metafilter, vimeo, dailymotion, instructables, adafruit, arduino, processing, openframeworks, creative commons, and how many others? what is already here and what is next?
which industries need the most help with this conversion to sharing? can we give up other conversational taboos? can we give up patents? can we give up copyright? what are the new ways we will find to share information? what are the things that we are afraid off? the preliminary goal of this site is to document all the instances of online sharing and how that sharing creates value. as more businesses move towards alternate economic practices that involve sharing, we will attempt to document the process. stay tuned... |
