I thought BusinessWeek's cover story this week was marvelous. The story (The Power of Us) looks at the power inherent in collaborative systems - and I found several new services I never knew existed. Check out Marketocracy for a collaborative way to choose stocks - and to try your abilities at managing a large portfolio. Or try Innocentive for a novel way to hook up inventors and real-world problems. Solve a problem and collect a bounty.
This blog posting (Micro Persuasion: 10 Commandments for The Era of Participatory Public Relations) takes a sharp view of how companies must work in a collaborative era.
