The Starfish and the Spider
Heliview organised a web 2.0 seminar today at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, titled "From Web 2.0 to Enterprise 2.0" It's keynote speaker was Rod Beckstrom, author of the Starfish and the Spider.
Below is the presentation he did at the Next Web Conference, which is pretty much the same story and same slideshow. Sit down and enjoy. It's good stuff.
Part 1: The Starfish and the Spider
Part 2: Geronimoooooooo!
Part 3: From centralized to decentralized business

Thanks for posting the videos. I'm a bit surprised that you can grok his message but choose to work in the spider verse of SL instead of contributing to one of the starfish.
Trevor,
Why would Second Life be a spider verse? Are you referring to Second Life or Linden Lab?
Second Life is controlled by a single corporate entity, hosted on centralized hardware, governed by a single legal structure, and is fundamentally structured around the centralized idea of One Big World.
In this analogy, Linden Lab is the spider head and if you chop it off then Second Life is dead.
