here is an article in a Christian magazine on the film. http://www.worldmag.com/articles/14162

good theme. bad presentation. she rambled and really should not have droned on after time

can we understand urban violence as a virus? it is something that is medically driven? or should it be considered it an infectious disease? fascinating idea that seems so correct.

violence behaves like an infectious disease in almost every way. so the question is…how are epidemics reversed?

interrupt transmission. this can be immunization, or render the most infectious person and render them neutral, for violence it is looking

change social norms. the central behaviour that is driving the epidemic. this is very much the copying and osmosis that

these are the only two things that work.

FASCINATING. it has to be the direction that this goes. stopping the cycle. REALLY GREAT WORK.

7 abundantly clear things about abundance

1. in order to beat piracy, emulate do not eliminate.

2. “good business is the best best art.” Andy Warhol

3. the art of storytelling is changing because of abundance. it is now becoming network and becoming part of the conversation. it is about giving other people space to create

4. never let legal ruin a project until the marketing team

5. abundance is better than advertising

- he states that the pharmaceutical companies spend more on advertising than on research. Novatis is

6. some good experiences will always be scarce.

7. in an economy based abundance your business model needs to be a virtuous circle.

Great talk!

talked about the story of the Josh Groban [http://www.joshgroban.com/] and then the Grobanites for Charity. http://www.grobanitesforcharity.org/.

he then talked about he issue of designing for generosity.

howard forums. started by Howard Chui [http://www.howardforums.com/] the phone users have access to ‘reality’ in a way that the engineers do not have. it is access to the customers who are experiencing their reality of cell phones. one billion page views. overflow of positive access. wow.

motivation types – intrinsic and extrinsic.

we have forgotten about intrinsic motivation. we have forgotten that is is better to feel good than look good.

1. design for intrinsic motivation. design an environment so that people feel that they are doing the right thing and people will flock to you. love and fame are not on the same dial. being appreciated by a small group of people who know you well is far different that lots of folks who know you a little.

2. autonomy is essential. generosity without autonomy is like an NPR fund drive.

3. limits

great talk. computer did not work and he just went into it without. really great.,

non-monetary economics have been around for a very long time. they are essentially markets of sharing. is it possible to rationalize and understand this?

what does the aundance of information create? a scarsity of attention.

very abundance creates a new scarcity.

scarsities? time. money. happiness. attention. reputation

so what about economy? what does economics mean? essentially it is about the dealing with the household accounts, according to the greek root. after |Adam Smith, the science of choice uner scarcity. In order to

an economy must be

1.measurable

2. finite

3. convertivle to otehr economic systems [including money]

this is the Google economy. the hyperlink is the first step to formalizing this. the http:// link is the way in which you GIVE your reputatioal value to others. fascinating cocept. this is a gift that yo give. your reputational asset being given to others. now at Wired, 40% of the traffic on the web is due to Google

Attention – traffic – ads

reputation – links – traffic

__________ – PageRank – Ads

The central banker of the Google economy is Larry Page. PAgerank is what he controls. who comes up first is fundamental to this economy. there are other internet economies, which Larry Page cannot control.

the link economy…….the reputational economy. Video games are the best place to see this know. Rosedale [Second Life] has to ensure that the land has value and retains value. Maple Story is another great example of attention/reputation economy. [http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/Main]
