Naturally, we seek to anticipate the future usage of the term Troll in a context of Social Capitalism. We can say that someone who was in a position to constrain Social Capitalism has the potential to engage in troll behavior.

Social Capital Trolls

Social Currency And The Innovation Bank
by Dan Robles
If we consider the structure of conversations and compare that to both the structure of social networks AND the structure of our financial system, we see a huge opportunity to develop an alternate financial system that can capitalize and securitize knowledge assets in social media.

A Community of Knowledge Assets
by Dan Robles
Our culture organizes itself around winners and losers. Corporations reflect this competitive nature to the core of their Capitalist doctrine. Sports analogies abound across the enterprise straight through to the HR department always on the lookout for the most amount of superstar for the least amount of money.

Video: Taxonomy for Community Knowledge Inventory
by Dan Robles
ny taxonomy that is used to classify information is a candidate for the classification of knowledge. This is because knowledge is related to information in a differential equation that also includes data and innovation (another blog post).

The Monetization Mystery

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

Political Memoirs; The Money Shot?

One must seriously ask, how exactly do political memoirs increase human productivity?

Is it Social Media or Corporate Media?
by Dan Robles
There are no shortage of intelligent and visionary social media celebrities. They write great books about markets, social media tools, strategies, and on-line reputation for the benefit of the millions of people stuck on any part of the slippery social media learning curve. There is, however, one thing that most of these Guru’s have in common – they consult to and are paid by large corporations.

Pirates, Anarchy, and the Monetization of Social Media
by Dan Robles
No sane blogger would post an article suggesting that anarchy is superior to government as a means of producing widespread cooperation…or would they? So far, the result has been phenomenally successful in social media and therefore demonstrates that anarchy may in fact work better than government.

The Social Media Paradox
by Dan Robles
Social Media Paradox: The degree to which the act of engaging in the social media paradigm reduces one’s ability to engage in the pre-social media paradigm; and vice versa.
Success in social media requires humility, authenticity and commitment to the medium. Like a tattoo, that impression defines the person and is not easily removed – after all, everyone’s got to have some skin in the game.

Community Currency; Ithaca Hours
by Dan Robles
Many communities are giving up waiting on large corporations or government to invest or provide jobs, and are instead building on their own strengths and resources.

A Local Currency Primer; Comfort Dollars
by Dan Robles
As more corporate and governmental institutions fail to meet the needs of society, people will need a currency that they can trade among each other. If the dollar fails, the need will be dire.
The difficulties that will ultimately limit such enterprise is the inability to capitalize and securitize a social currency.

The Greatest Threat To Social Media
by Dan Robles
My first year in Mexico back in 1994, I thought to myself, “Wow, I can change everything”. The next year, I thought to myself, “Wow, I can’t change anything”. The third year, I thought to myself, “Wow, why would I want to change anything, Mexico is doing just fine the way it is”.

The Value of Social Currency
by Dan Robles
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.

Is the Corporate Structure Obsolete?
by Dan Robles
In short, we have seen social media replace or duplicate almost every structural element of the traditional corporation outside of the construct of corporations. Can social media provide a corporate structure in and among itself?
{ 1 comment }
We have specified a structure for a new economic paradigm by simply integrating the the knowledge economy into the same structure as the financial system. The result is a completely new way for entrepreneurs to create wealth.

Who Owns Your Content?
by Dan Robles
The epiphany:
Something very interesting happened when Facebook changed their terms of service. People who use the Facebook platform (for free) organized themselves using the (free) platform to threaten the core validity of the same (free) platform. This could not happen in any other industry.
Saving face?
Ownership is largely characterized by the ability of one party [...]

The Résumé Must Die
by Dan Robles
Résumé: A French word for separating the brain from the body
The global imperative is for the United States to become an innovation economy now. This is an entirely different animal than the Industrial revolution; I have long argued that the résumé system is by far the most archaic knowledge management “currency” of trade in use today.

Web 3.0; An Elephant Never Forgets
by Dan Robles
The opportunity for America reminds me of the elephant that is convinced since birth that the slender rope tying him to the fence post is stronger than he. When the elephant grows up, he still believes the rope is stronger even though the elephant now has gained the strength to pull the whole building down. [...]

The Great Convergence
by Dan Robles
Hey Kids, It’s 3D:
The objective of this article is to discuss the Great Convergence of computer enabled society. Social media must not be allowed to converge to a single apex – rather, it must converge to 3 distinct and tangible dimensions.
The factors of production for the industrial economy are land, labor, and capital. If you [...]

Finally, A Definition for Innovation
by Dan Robles
[In earlier post we identified the 5 essential elements of a market economy. What would be the currency of an innovation economy? Currency is anything that serves as a medium of exchange, a stored value, and a standard of value. Basically we are asking; What are those things that people are out in the World [...]

The Next Great American “Hail Mary” Pass
by Dan Robles
The Game
The knowledge economy will be outsourced to low cost countries. There is little rational analysis that suggests otherwise. Information, knowledge and innovation are profoundly connected – lose one and you lose the other two … and so goes our innovation potential. The very technology invented and developed by American knowledge workers is the exact [...]

Social Media; The Opportunity of a Century
by Dan Robles
The Perfect Storm:
We are at an historic time in human history; one that may never repeat itself again. The current financial crisis may provide just enough disruption for a completely new economic paradigm to emerge; the Innovation Economy. We cannot squander this moment arguing over common logon for our Twitter and Facebook profiles; a far [...]

Social Media; The Central Bank for Knowledge Assets?
by Dan Robles
It is very interesting to watch Social Media follow familiar trajectories as earlier paradigms in finance. I see many social media platforms struggling to make human knowledge tangible in their respective markets. The challenge is so simple, yet so complex. Let the litmus test for knowledge tangibility be as follows; “Can you buy groceries with [...]

The Tangibility of Knowledge
by Dan Robles
Knowledge Tangibility should be the most important conversation in Social Media circles given the current financial situation in America.
I lived through financial devaluation in another country and the effects were crushing: after the run on the banks, there will be a run on Walmart. People will buy TVs, small appliances, shoes, and useful stuff that [...]

2008 Financial Crisis: The End Game
by Dan Robles
The year is 2020, no burning cities, no mass hysteria, no bread lines; the economy is on an exponential growth curve. The financial crisis of 2008 ended in an anticlimactic sort of way. Sure, lots of hedge fund bankers were unemployed for a while and many companies once deemed titans of industry have disappeared, but [...]

The Capitalization of Knowledge – The Virtuous Circle
by Dan Robles
We have set up a new game for entrepreneurs to play called Innovation Economics. We have defined a currency and an inventory where knowledge is visible outside the construct of the corporation – and resident in social networks. We have also described a way for entrepreneurs to visualize the knowledge asset and the supply and [...]

The Credit Score Analogy; Part 2
by Dan Robles
Now we look for a similar situation for Knowledge Markets.
In the cuurent times, the hiring manager is the person to know if you want to get a job. The manager would read your resume and compare it with “bell curve” in their brain about what has worked or not worked in their past. This was [...]

The Credit Score Analogy; Part 1
by Dan Robles
We have defined the currency, the factors of production, and the inventory of the Innovation Economy; we destroyed the old resume system and turned it into a computer language that makes knowledge appear like money in the eyes of the entrepreneur.
Now, we need a system that keeps the game free and fair. For example; EBay [...]
