We Are What We Share

Found this video on Punk Planning the other day and thought it was an interesting thing to think about. Also liked the animation/illustration.

Things have been staying pretty busy at work and with life lately, so posts are coming a bit slow. Sorry about that. I will try to get back here more regularly very soon. Thanks for the patience in the meantime.

Thanks for this Paul. After I watched the video, I trolled around on the Web to find more and realized this is part of Charles Leadbeater's body of work. In 2000 I read The Weightless Society where Leadbeater outlined a social economic model. What seemed necessary but theoretical 8 years ago has been actualized and is the very world that we find ourselves reading, authoring and working in every day. I also took a moment to watch Leadbeater's presentation at TED:2007. Once again, his powerful observations and thoughtful insights into the ways in which open and collaborative environments breed innovation, profitability and social good are (I hope) prophetic. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/63

this is brilliant. i believe that the future of advertising can be coined as LOVERTISING, meaning brands sharing more with the consumers. here's one example: http://www.xgeronimo.com/pages/advertising/zara/thnxgiving-sale.html
