Comments are also addicting. Waiting for the review in the newspaper, an email reply, a comment on you myspace page. Viewing comments and the current amount of viewers are probably the most viewed by users.

Public Sticky notes

The key motivator of Social Media and the core spirit of Web 2.0 is a mind switch called Sharism. Sharism suggests a re-orientation of personal values. We see it in User Generated Content. It is the pledge of Creative Commons. It is in the plans of future-oriented cultural initiatives. Sharism is also a mental practice that anyone can try, a social-psychological attitude to transform a wide and isolated world into a super-smart Social Brain.

A neural network exists to share activity and information, and I believe this model of the brain should inspire ideas and decisions about human networks.

This has profound implications for the creative process. Whenever you have an intention to create, you will find it easier to generate more creative ideas if you keep the sharing process firmly in mind. The idea-forming-process is not linear, but more like an avalanche of amplifications along the thinking path.

People generally like to share what they create, but in a culture that tells them to be protective of their ideas, people start to believe in the danger of sharing.

"cultural goods" and "intellectual property" are just excuses for the status quo of keeping a community closed.

Highlighted by victorgodot

Non-sharing culture misleads us with its absolute separation of Private and Public space. It makes creative action a binary choice between public and private, open and closed. This creates a gap in the spectrum of knowledge.

The less you share, the less power you have.

people now understand that they can have better control over a wide spectrum of relationships. Like how Flickr allows people to share their photos widely, but safely

What do you want to share today?" I'm not kidding. Then, if anything interesting comes your way: Share It! The easiest way to both start and keep sharing is by using different kinds of social software applications.

The first type of reward that you will get comes in the form of comments.

Perhaps this is a mutually beneficial transaction? The abilty to challenge and comment is an acknowledgement that the reader also plays a role in negotiating meaning.

The second reward is access to all the other stuff being shared by friends in your network.

Anything you share can be forwarded, circulated and republished via other people's networks. This cascade effect can spread your work to the networked masses.

you may allow others to create derivative works from what you share.

These "Shaeros" (Sharing Heroes) will naturally become the opinion leaders in the first wave of Social Media. However, these media rights will belong to everyone.

One concern is that any loss of control over copyrighted content will lead to noticeable deficits in personal wealth, or just loss of control

Emergent democracy will only happen when Sharism becomes the literacy of the majority, the very kind of literacy that Howard Rheingold describes in this book. Since Sharism can improve communication, collaboration and mutual understanding, I believe it has a place within the educational system. Sharism can be applied to any cultural discourse, CoP (Community of Practice) or problem-solving context. It is also an antidote to social depression, since sharelessness is just dragging our society down. In present or formerly totalitarian countries, this downward cycle is even more apparent. The future world will be a hybrid of human and machine that will generate better and faster decisions anytime, anywhere. The flow of information between minds will become more flexible and more productive. These vast networks of sharing will create a new social order−A Mind Revolution!

he new economic formula is, the more people remix your works, the higher the return.

Free Software Foundation and Creative Commons have been around for years. These movements are redefining a more flexible spectrum of licenses for both developers and end-users to tag their works. Because the new licenses can be recognized by either humans or machines, it's becoming easier to re-share those works in new online ecosystems.

Sharism is the Spirit of the Age of Web 2.0.

Sharism will transform the world into an emergent Social Brain: a networked hybrid of people and software. We are Networked Neurons connected by the synapses of Social Software.
