Just like anything on the Internet my one good idea for this hour is at least four weeks old. Jon Udell's post titled social networking in radiospace posted at the end of May ask four questions similar to this one. Under what condition will people choose to participate in the value creation process on the Internet? I think that much of it has to do with how well you get credit for your contribution. Reputation management is central to the changes in how we decide which option among all options will maximize our household utility. We all have limited amount of time, money, and ability and with that we have to do the best we can each day to make a living. Social Capitol is defined as the ability we have through our networks to foster cooperation. The Internet being at its core a network phenomenon makes new kinds of anamous contributions relevant. Linux was fundamentally built with mediated reputation management in a gift economy. Same with radio. When the work wraps around on itself and we blog about blogging and blog about how to improve our blogging software and blog about our blog network. Its what I call the Mary Tyler More effect.

After reading the Knowledge Bazaar (pdf) where they interview McKinsey consultants I've been checking out the McKinseyQuarterly  and finding some useful articles about Social Capitol in the workplace. The basis if that fundamentally people are resourceful and when different types of capitol are scares people find new ways to combine non-cash capitols and combine them in ways to solve their problem. The four invariants are: 1) People will always have new Problems 2) People will find new solutions based on what resources are available. 3) Based on the available resources we will choose the "Best Path" 4) For each individual the evaluation of what is best is deeply personal and different but to the individual it is completely clear to them that they chose the best option and it’s the others that are screwed up.
