book blurb: What Would Google Do?

Very much enjoyed Jeff Jarvis’ recent book “What Would Google Do?” on the new, next economy.  There, the old strategy of hoarding information for competitive gain, is supplanted by internet-based demand for openness, spontaneity and honesty among a long tail of interconnected, self-organizing individuals and small communities. Jarvis traverses all facets of the economic landscape and sees how this new ethos is on the rise.  Indeed, a new social-political-economic era seems to be emerging.

I was inspired to focus on the spontaneous, entrepreneurial act of opening up and sharing my personal thoughts and dig deeper into the issues I care about.  Thanks Professor Jarvis!
