Community 2.0 - We are smarter than me

jim wilde — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 11:54:08 +0000

We use open source software, Drupal, and participate in the Drupal community. We have learned much from the wisdom of crowds in that community.

Although the Wharton experiment is on "wisdom of crowds" ideas for business management, those same ideas (woc) have been rocking in oss communities for years. A simple look at sourceforge.net (Registered Projects: 138,299, Registered Users: 1,474,747) will yield volumes of actionable insights about community development, management, and woc.

Community software and better tacit interactions

We develop online communities that run on intranets using Drupal - an open source web application framework.

I received an email from McKinsey, "Ten trends to watch in 2006". One of those trends is about the economics of knowledge. We help organizations use Drupal to create community software applications for employees, customers, suppliers, etc. What I find fascinating about all this community talk is that it all started in the open source software communities where it continues to flourish.

Communications Scale with Social Networks

jim wilde — Wed, 31 May 2006 17:33:29 +0000

Most social network platforms we set-up and run are for business organizations. Organizations that want to connect people, ideas and information - mashups - so they can improve decision making and performance amongst employees, customers, suppliers, etc. But some of the ideas Mr. Young writes about, scaling self-expression, reach of distribution, and decentralizing the ecosystem apply to what we enable inside businesses.
