Emerging Technologies in STC: Gold in Orienteering and Ideagoras. I must admit that when I read the title of the Connect! Chapter assigned for this weeks reading, "Surf Waves of Information" I was disappointed. However, upon reading the chapter I was pleasantly surprised by the content. The discussion between teleporting and orienteering was one that I had never heard of before.
Teleporting is what I most often do, moving straight to what I am looking for. (Zelenka, 2008, p. 120). However, Zelenka's discussion of orienteering should be regarded as productive in that is allows for "serendipity". Zelenka provided an great segway between the Connect! Prospective searches segway well into the Wikinomics reading in that prospective searches can provide companies using ideagoras an advantage.
There is a difference between ideagoras and open-source software that Tapscott discusses in the chapter. Ideagoras allow companies to expand research and development past the confines of their walls and to utilize the knowledge of the entire world. Ideagora. From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium The term "ideagora" is used to describe a type of online community known as a “marketplace for minds”. The word comes from “agora,” an ancient Greek marketplace or forum, with the addition of “idea” making it a marketplace or forum for ideas and innovation. The so-named ideagora is becoming increasingly important as businesses are beginning to use the scientists and problem-solvers on the Internet to find solutions to the problems they are facing.
History Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams (2007) coined the term ideagora in their book Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything [1] and the series of Wikinomics articles they contributed to Business Week in February, 2007. One of the first businesses to try the ideagora concept was Toronto-based gold mining company Goldcorp. Why ideagora? Ideagoras in other contexts Hof gave a different example of ideagoras in action when he discussed open-source Linux programmers and mass collaboration.
