http://nico.maisonneuve.free.fr/blog/index.php/2007/what-the-social-attention-is-not/ When I talk about my researches on the management of the attention, sometimes people misunderstand due maybe to the fuzzy notion of attention.

Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Sharecropping the long ta

A while back I wrote that Web 2.0, by putting the means of production into the hands of the masses but withholding from those same masses any ownership over the product of their work, provides an incredibly efficient mechanism to harvest the economic value of the free labor provided by the very many and concentrate it into the hands of the very few. Richard MacManus’s new analysis of web traffic patterns helps illustrate the point.
