I’m not much of an environmentalist although I recycle a bit and am trying to be more aware but this video raises many interesting questions and ideas. Carrotmob Makes It Rain from carrotmob on Vimeo. Carrotmob takes Tuangou (group buying for discounts) to a more altruistic level. Very Shirykesque wouldn’t you say? I recall Shirky stating (sorry I can’t find the page number) that although group organization is now ridiculously easy, that most organizations were reactive rather than proactive. This is the type of thing that illustrates the ability to be proactive. The democratization of economics is one idea that I hadn’t really considered. The monopolization of companies in reality or practice doesn’t need to exist. I’m looking forward to seeing passionate, connected teachers leading students in group formation that changes our world.
