Pssst … Wanna Get Wasted?

January 16, 2010

This is starting to sound more like the neighborhood drug dealer than any sustainable economic paradigm: Go where your customers congregate and gain their trust by sharing your stuff. Soon, you can start to influence their behavior. Once hooked, they will do your deed for free.

The Monetization Mystery

January 14, 2010

Show me how everyone is related and I’ll show you a new economic paradigm. Here is how they are not related:

Draw Your Own Org Chart

Then Robert walked around the corner. He stood next to me, applied a menacing grin, and stared my oppressors down. After a few moments, he walked away without saying a word.

Using Social Currency To Fight Terrorism

January 8, 2010

Should a social currency credit score become imperative to social transactions as the financial credit score is for financial transactions?

USocial = SUPER SPAM

December 1, 2009

USocial is now going after YouTube. These clever guy and gals have figured out a way to bypass the democracy of social media to bring is a new form of merchant class capitalism…SUPER SPAM. For a small fee, you can get your message to the head of the line – in effect pushing the rest backwards. Presumably for a bigger fee, you can get ahead of those who paid a smaller fee, and so forth.

Intellectual Property in Bloggerville

November 20, 2009

I am always amazed when I get that proverbial chest thumping quasi-barrister “cease and desist” letter, followed by remedial citation of copyright law, and always ending with some pathetic accusation of irreparable damages and criminal violation.

Banks In The Future

October 29, 2009

You are hearing it here; these innovations are the most significant disruption that Wall Street can’t possibly imagine. Money is a social agreement and these are the banks of the future. Although many come from the gaming industry, many games are modeled after the real world, therefore, transition back to the real world is not as difficult as one may think.

A Learning Revolution?

October 13, 2009

Whatever is left will become the new economic paradigm: the fabric of society must remain intact, capitalism must be preserved, and social priorities must be enabled. It will be neither socialism not capitalism – both have failed. We need to learn Social Capitalism where social media is the dominant institution that issues a productivity based currency.

Coupon Search Engine – Are You Worthy?

October 9, 2009

What if many companies dropped their advertising spend into a several different buckets of cash representing various lifestyle segments? Now, suppose that the cash was distributed to social media mavens corresponding to their social media reach in the lifestyle segments. The advertisers and the amounts contributed to the buckets are fully disclosed. The Social Media mavens are compensated by their Alexa rankings – again, fully disclosed and objective. The Social Mavens are simply paid to blog their lifestyle experiences with no contract or commitment to any brand, nor retribution for any assessment – just like always.

What If The Dollar Fails?

October 1, 2009

I have been hearing a great deal about an inevitable collapse of the dollar. Not today or tomorrow, more likely in 5 or 10 years. The failure will probably not be a stupendous crash since politicians would avoid this as a means of self-preservation. Rather, it would simply be a slow and grinding inability to “afford” many important things using cash. Note that this has little or nothing to do with your ability to produce important things.

The Voice of the Youth

September 29, 2009

Does One size fit all? The 40+ crowd is flooding to Facebook.  The 30+ massage their Linkedin profiles. The 20+ crowd is tweeting their hearts out.  What are the kids doing?  How are they organizing themselves?  After all, they are saddled with a 50 Trillion dollar debt liability and a warming planet courtesy of their [...]

Unspoken Communication and the Bottom Line

September 23, 2009

I can also see how the unspoken communication stores as much value as the spoken communication. In the U.S. , there are race troubles, financial troubles, trust troubles, and confidence troubles. Many fears and anxieties that can be accelerated by Social Media in unpredictable ways. First, information riles people up quicker than facts can follow, and second, the shelf life is much shorter as issues are dissipated by new ones leaving much unprocessed.

Will Facebook Currency Intermarry with the US Dollar?

September 15, 2009

Facebook is testing a virtual currency, because it’s cool and they can do it. They are not alone, the gaming industry has been at it for a long time for people who want to be more “productive” in the game space.

There is no mention, however, whether a Facebook currency could be used as a medium of exchange in the event of hyperinflation and the crash of the US dollar. I can find nobody, writing anywhere today, that is willing to cross this proverbial line in the editorial sandbox.

Creative Capital; The Hidden Hero

September 7, 2009

Social capital, intellectual capital and creative capital are the factors of production for the Innovation Economy; next economic paradigm. Creative Capital remains the least understood, yet most important element of the Next Economic Paradigm. As we continue our march into the regime of social media it is imperative that we understand, support, and develop this critical factor. We cannot “take it for granted” that creativity exists and will always exist. It must be recognized, developed, and integrated into the fold of Social Media.

When The Kids Arrive – from MySpace

August 29, 2009

Here at The Ingenesist Project we have long been looking for a disassociation between main stream media and social media. MySpace may be the social experiment that indicates a deeper and most promising trend.

The Social Media Resolution; From Monet to Blue Ray

August 14, 2009

The Ingenesist Project and related blogs such as Relationship Economy and now Conversational Currency have long predicted that the resolution of social media space will vastly increase from “Monet” to “Blue Ray”. The segmentation and convergence of social media space will happen on two fronts: Knowledge Inventory and Proximity.

It Takes Currency to Make Currency

August 11, 2009

Immediately the engine of entrepreneurialism will ignite as people figure out new ways to play the game. With a trillion dollar advertising industry, a trillion dollar Professional Placement industry, and a trillion dollar recreation/leisure/entertainment/family industry on the ropes, you can guarantee that innovation will be absolutely intense. Welcome to the Innovation Economy.

The Value of Social Currency

July 9, 2009

Roughly 10% of the US gross Domestic Product can be attributed directly to the process of evaluating or examining transactions. The ability to foresee the result of specific knowledge assets deployed to specific business conditions is the Holy Grail of entrepreneurs.

The Vicarious Search Engine

July 7, 2009

This is how the innovation economy must play out. People must control, regulate, anonymize, and manage their own knowledge inventory. If only they could see their world through the entrepreneur’s eyes – perhaps they need a vicarious search engine more than anyone.

Social Media Strikes Back

June 26, 2009

In order to predict where social media will strike next all we need to do is look for the waste economy; areas where world governments, institutions, and corporations are inefficient, wasteful, co opted, or corrupt.

The Invisible Currency Among Us

June 17, 2009

The grand total is 2.5 Trillion Dollars worth of conversational currency – 2 times the 2009 national deficit and 5% of America’s entire debt obligation – and growing. Maybe the Dollar is not so overvalued after all. Maybe the dollar deficit is counter balanced by this new invisible currency. Suppose the more inflation that occurs, the more this invisible currency will affect the overall economy.

The Second Impression of Social Media

May 7, 2009

As we move away from the ROI valuation model for social media and adopt a more dynamic ‘options’ analysis, a different picture emerges. The next economic paradigm will emerge as a function of people exercising their options.

Got a Life?

February 23, 2009

Geographic Compatibility: In the early 1990’s, traffic in Los Angeles was so horrendous, it could take hours to travel a dozen miles.  Commuting was a nightmare and the last thing anyone wanted to do was sit in more traffic.  As a single professional, every time I met a prospective lady friend, I had that elemental [...]
