“...not all technical innovations bring heretofore unimagined functionality… Some, and in my opinion the most valuable, take what 10% of the population had previously been able to do and make that capability available to 90% of the population. That’s what blogs and wikis have done. And this creates network effects"

Lessons?

• Expectations are changing• Discussions are happening without us• Even when we provide channels for user

• We have relatively less control now• We must view this as an opportunity

2020 predictions• The world will be enveloped with other

peoples context (if you want it)

• “Tribal” allegiances will be strengthened(for good and for bad)
