Coordinating new forms of value
In our media 2.0, web 2.0, post-media, post-scarcity, small-is-the-new-big, open-source, gift-economy world of the
empowered and connected individual, the value is no longer in maintaining an exclusive hold on things. The value is no
longer in owning content or distribution.
The value is in relationships. The value is in trust.
Jeff Jarvis (2005) ‘Who wants to own content?’
