Phi Beta Iota: Well worth careful examination. A useful categorization of many services, all of which have something to do with sharing, and none of which actually contribute to sense-making, decision-support, or true cost accountability. Now imagine this same map, but this time every single element is part of a world brain and global game in which all data is inter-operable and geospatially as well as time tagged, and every datum is weighted and also linked to all true cost information, all in a whole systems context. Cost and corruption anomalies will “light up” — achievable savings and individual needs that — if met — will generate surplus wealth for the community. Yahoo overpaid for tumbl — and will probably overpay for a few other things — instead of actually thinking through how to entice best in class, one from each, while building the other half — the sense-making in context half — that does not exist.
