A fascinating video full of ideas, plans and insight. Is it possible for us to extrapolate this concept wider, employing it rigorously in our social structures? Can we simply find the resources and skills set to manage this? And will the chavs just kick it to crap and set it on fire? All thoughts welcome…

Brilliant chart detailing the rise of collaboration. There are some really strong business models developing here and its interesting to see things developing from very local and atomised, then being significantly influenced by the internet and allowing a larger number of people to become connected to each other.
