Brian Solis opened the Main Conference Day of next09 with his keynote on the Social Economy. I don't think he refers to a third sector in economies between the private and the public sector. His topic is the Human Network.
The real story is the human network and the Social Economy that fosters the conversations that serve as its currency - on and offline.
But it's not just about the tools...it's about the emotional and psychological connection between people and our investment in the personal traits that others find irresistible.
Relationships....RELATIONSHIPS...count for everything here, and they're measured by the mutually beneficial rewards that all parties experience over time. We invest in each other and harvest the fruits of our collaboration and interconnection.
While Jeff Jarvis, Umair Haque and their critic Andrew Keen focused more or less on the economical part of the Share Economy, Brian Solis emphasised the importance of sharing, culminating in a much-cited phrase: We are what we share.
