“Online Markets...Networked markets are beginning to self-
organize faster than the companies that have traditionally served them. Thanks to the web,
markets are becoming better informed, smarter, and more demanding of qualities
missing from most business organizations.”

“The desire to be part of a group that shares,
cooperates, or acts in concert is a basic human
instinct.”Clay Shirkyhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/good_day/110559381/
