This pdf paper and the accompanying map are useful guides to relating new technologies that promote cooperation and knowledge sharing. "Emerging digital technologies present new opportunities for developing complex cooperative strategies that change the way people work together to solve problems and generate wealth." Some of the categories are abstruse but it's interesting to see how Internet technologies ranging from Technorati to Flickr to Wikis fit into the author's large-scale model of social interation. ___JH

Technologies of Cooperation. Howard Jarche points to this useful paper by Andrea Saveri, Howard Rheingold, and Kathi Vian. The bulk of the paper is a survey of emerging technologies of cooperation, for example, self-organizing mesh networks, peer-to-peer networks, or knowledge collectives. This well-written (and well designed) paper illustrates each in detail, offering examples and 'strategic principles' to guide their development. Jarche also links to a large version of a chart of the eight technologies, highlighting structure, rules, resources and more for each. Impress your peers; print this and post it on your wall.
