Internet Swarms and Peer Production
- 1. Internet Swarms and Peer Production Petri Kola
- 2. Physical vs. virtual tradition of physical metaphors in understanding computers/networks but as a system the virtual is different differences in friction, privacy,...
- 3. Examples of hard questions
- 4. Borrowing someone’s open WLAN Salo court in Finland decided that it was illegal to use an open WLAN without permission [Helsingin Sanomat: 14.4.2008]
- 5. Internet censorship secret block-list no court involved in blocking decissions can be bypassed in 10 seconds blocking is DNS based
- 6. Stealing a file "copying is stealing" technically, copying is not theft because the original copy remains
- 7. Economics and scarcity markets not recognizing scarcity of physical resources markets creating pseudo-scarcity in the virtual
- 8. Micro contribution my hypothetical concept doesn’t exist in physical reality virtual community -> peer production
- 9. Driving forces productivity in cognitive work depends heavily on the right participants and resources meeting each other open systems systematically better as administrative information processing systems
- 10. Combining contributions criteria does the code run? neutral point of view in Wikipedia
- 11. Forking branching from the main project bad for the project -> the community tries to avoid it “insurance for participation”
- 12. We need to recognize how virtual organizing is different.
- 13. Open peer production micro contributions traceability - who did what early feedback undo post priori authorization
- 14. Swarm like organization focus on action and achievement unclear borders emergent rules doesn’t look like much doesn’t have to succeed
- 15. Hacker attitudes creating, sharing information-sharing as both an ideal and a practical strategy hostility to secrecy upholding the right to fork emphasis on rationality distaste for authority playful cleverness
- 16. Produsage Production + Usage = Produsage
- 17. Swarm methaphor worth more research stigmergy = indirect coordination between agents or actions
Editor's Notes
- #2: -my research is about open production methods -web 2.0: lock in + amateurs -highly skilled individuals vs. a lot of amateur individuals -user generated action
