The results of Latitude Research and Shareable Magazine's The New Sharing Economy study released today indicate that online sharing does indeed seem to encourage people to share offline resources such as cars and bikes, largely because they are learning to trust each other online. And they're not just sharing to save money - an equal number of people say they share to make the world a better place.
The pariSoma team was delighted to talk about what we do at Creative Commons Salon on Tuesday. We presented alongside Neal Gorenflo of Shareable and Jack Herrick of wikiHow in (what we thought was) an interesting discussion of sharing both on and offline. You can check out the video embedded here!
At Creative Commons, we love to share.
And while CC is primarily known for its work enabling openness and collaboration in the digital world, we're interested in how the culture of sharing is changing offline life as well. Join us at the next CC Salon, where we'll present three projects focused on how sharing ideas, knowledge, and even physical space can revolutionize the way people create, work, and play.
In our November event, we discussed how the social web can disempower if not used wisely. This month, we'll discuss how to use it to improve the quality of your life and share offline. Three panelists will help seed the discussion. They've explored the interplay between the real and virtual deeply in both practice and thought, and have a passionate commitment to empowering others with the knowledge they've gained:
1-Allison Arieff is former editor in chief of Dwell Magazine, a NYTimes design blogger, and a writer for GOOD. 2-Stephanie Smith is a designer and social entrepreneur. Her most recent company WeCommune.com (now in private beta) is an application that facilitates on the ground resource-sharing.
3-Bill Ayers is a writer, Internet entrepreneur, and recognized Meetup organizing expert. He is founder and organizer of the San Francisco Webeneur Meetup Group and was Meetup organizer of the week March last year.
