• Andreas L: The Social Web is a Culture of Invitation – Opposable Planets – The Social Web is a Culture of Invitation. It has its own norms just like any other social group, be it a workplace, a chess club or a church. The same rules apply: You earn your way to invitation through fitting in (sensitive to the culture), standing out (demonstrating capability) and slowly building trust (repeating the above two).

• Martin: Produsage: A Working Definition | Produsage.org – In collaborative communities the creation of shared content takes place in a networked, participatory environment which breaks down the boundaries between producers and consumers and instead enables all participants to be users as well as producers of information and knowledge – frequently in a hybrid role of produser where usage is necessarily also productive. Produsers engage not in a traditional form of content production, but are instead involved in produsage – the collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement.
