About the GoogleJuice and Attention Economy
This wiki entry and related posts let me thoughful ... I wonder... Hyperlink as a currency? Pass the money around ... so after all I might already be a millionaire ;-) in the netEconomy. The question is : can i survive as a still water-blood-flesh being with hyperlinks in my wallet?
An excerpt:
"And the point is, this is TheAttentionEconomy. And it's NetoCracy. Which means we have to do our NetoCracy/Imploitation as well as our NetoCracy/Exploitation. Passing the GoogleJuice on the left-hand side is definitely another part of that. Is it "imploitation"? At a stretch is feels similar. But maybe it's yet a third kind of thing. Need to think about this more."
But the real good stuff turns out to be the Attention Economy. That thoughtstorm about the so-called attention economy definitely resonnates in me. Maybe because of my current professional context. I'm consulting for a big pharma company that is also a player in the game of a news aggregator, namely a 'portal', for a very targeted audience: the physicians ! A great project and lots of potential if *we* play it clever and , for example, use the tools out there... Though I didn't quite convince the deciders with my demo and speech about blogs, RSS, free content aggregation. Too be honest I felt quite awkward on how to present it without sounding too much like a nerd. They sure see the power but are convinced that their audience , those doctors, are far too backward to switch to such geeky ways... How long this statement will stand? I bet not quite long...
