Wikinomics in the Blogosphere
What did people say about us this week?
- Andrew Jones of the Tall Skinny Kiwi talks about how the Wikinomics ideas of transparency, generosity, and trust relates to the Bible and Christian ideals.
- As mentioned in the comments of last week, a relatively new website, Swirrl, has posted a review of Wikinomics.“Swirrl is like a wiki, but better.”
- The State Sunshine and Open Records blog criticizes “Show us a Better Way”, a new website sponsored by the British Government, but reconsiders the statement after hearing this site is the brainchild of the U.K.’s Minister for the Cabinet Office. The website invites users/citizens to post ideas for new government services.
- Wikinomics and how mass collaboration will fundamentally change learning was one of the topics at the recent NECC 2008 conference.
- Brendan Dunphy’s Innovation Blog debates the Wikinomics Report Card on General Motors. He argues that closed innovation is better when the current market solution is not sufficient.
- Paula Thornton of the Fast Forward Blog talks about Don Tapscott’s economic tsunami in reference to the User Revolution and the Age of Aquarius.

Hi Ben.
Thanks for the mention.
By the way, “Swirrl” should have 2 “r”s.
We would have called it “Swirl” but the domain was already taken – the Internet promotes bad spelling!
Regards,
Ric from Swirrl
