Twitter growth is slowing down. Only 30% of the members actually do it. What can actually get accomplished in 140 characters? Obviously there is a hardcore group of tweeters feeding twitter. And another hardcore group trolling Twitter. Are they the Paul Reveres of our society or the Chicken Littles?

What if Everyone Were a Corporation?
Submitted by Dan March 12th, 2010 - 00:01. No Comments »
A corporation exists in the form of a bits and bytes simulating a folder of papers in a virtual file cabinet. A corporation gets to deduct all of their expenses from their taxes. A corporation can borrow money. Corporation garner social respect. In fact, the cards are stacked in favor of the corporation over the worker. We teach our kids to be good employees, not to become good corporations.
Creative Capital; The Next Factor of Production
Submitted by Dan March 11th, 2010 - 01:00. No Comments »
If we expect to deliver an alternate social currency backed by innovation, we need to reflect deeply upon this specific factor of production. We need to think, observe, and interpret with the flexibility that “Creatives” have – if not, we need the humility to let them help us. Only then can we start connecting the dots.
When Social Media Becomes a Science

ay Deragon posted a series of articles recently on his Relationship Economy blog which I found especially exciting. As usual, Jay is bringing forward some very important ideas related to social media components and outcomes, but what really sets this new mindset apart is the fact that Jay is asking the same questions that have been plaguing scientists for 100 years.

Then, out of the blue, the economy starts to disappear into thin air and nobody knows where all the “Market Value” has gone. Trying to “control the message” is like trying to control the temperature of the room by turning the thermostat with all the windows open. The Dollar is disappearing – but where is it disappearing to?
In Search of the Economic Warp Drive
Submitted by Dan February 23rd, 2010 - 13:32. No Comments »
The Next Economic Paradigm is a very simple idea yet the overwhelming majority of people have absolutely no idea what we’re talking about. The strangest part of this work is the knowledge that eventually this will become completely obvious to everyone and the transformation, from beginning to end, will take a very short period of time.
The Interesting Thing About Interest Rates
Submitted by Dan February 17th, 2010 - 01:00. No Comments »
The problem is that risk can never be negative, therefore interest rates can never be negative – that is called “breaking he buck”. Risk is a measure of volatility, or, “deviations from what is considered normal”. While there is certainly good deviations and bad deviations, there can never be a “negative” deviation from normal – it is a mathematical impossibility, a glitch.

In the era of the real-time Web, information travels at a greater velocity than the infrastructure of mainstream media can support as it exists today. As events materialize, the access to social publishing and syndication platforms propels information across attentive and connected nodes that link social graphs all over the world. Current events are now [...]
Social Networks And The Innovation Bank

Literally, there is no safe place to put your money. Instead, people are investing their productivity in social media – social media is simply a storage device for knowledge assets. Soon it will become a stock exchange for knowledge assets. Investors should not take this lightly – the best place to store your money is in the productivity of people.
The New Definition of Innovation

I have seen Corporate executives glow red in the face shouting down top talent with an outstretched index finger belching out; “It’s not innovation unless you can show me the money!”
