Exclusive Ways and the Hippy Ethos Dave Winer is upset about the exclusivity of a number of events sponsored by Technology companies. Presumably this why he created the "UnConference." Of course businesses believe that they can profit from controlling standards and information asymetry. These ideas come from the paradigm of the economics of scarcity. Viewed through the glasses of the economics of abundance, these tactics seem old fashioned. I've said it before, but I think Winer is hippy. In the best sense of the word. Tech companies try to be hip in a geeky sort of way. But they have no idea what it means to be a hippy. It's kind of a shame. |
