Interesting thoughts. I observed that same tension at the one meeting I attended, perhaps more btwn promoting yourself and sharing/brainstorming than making money (though promoting yourself can come down to that) and collaboration. But then that could come down to many people not knowing each other and the tension that brings about. In either case, your moderation skills impressed me. Wish I was in London more often:-)

Hey Lloyd,
your thoughts about platform in connection with virtual examples like ms-dos, facebook, etc… are very much the way discussion an thoughts are going on regarding betahaus in berlin. Something that occupies our thoughts in particular is the fact that the major thing that our platform should do is make things easier. It will only be a good if it reduces complexity and smoothes down the contradictions that are existing between the following antipodes: work/live, global/local, virtual/real. This will end up somehow in a plus of productivity and well being which leads to a monetary benefit earlier or later and wouldn’t it be best to make this part of the business model, somehow?
Well, some weird thoughts from Berlin.

Cheers

Christoph
