Jobs provide more than a paycheck, though. For most workers, their employer is their source of health and retirement benefits, and for many, the workplace gives a structure to their social life and a shape to their sense of themselves. A shift is already underway with health care: The legislation before Congress could make it easier to get health insurance without relying on one’s employer. But the more workers there are outside traditional workplaces, the more people will have to figure out alternative sources for all of those things.

Interesting article. I think we cant have enough barcamps, open coffee clubs, and other gatherings...
@jkleske has pointed me to Jonathan, thanks again. Massive Output, great projects and he is only 30 years old. Kudos! Please dive in and enjoy. He is currently at Davos and he will take a picture every day for the rest of his life. Simply amazing
His talk at TED:
They were there to hear Muhammad Yunis, who won the peace prize in 2006 for his work with Grameen Bank, and his major message was not to follow the rules just because they are rules, but only if they are good.
"Teachers say go to class, get good grades so you can get a good college, get a degree so you can get a good job, so you can work for a corporation, so you can make a lot of money for the person who owns the company. That's it. Nothing else. Is that all life is for? I said no. It is not to make money. It is to help people," he said to raucous applause.
and via @jkleske Thanks!
Everybody is going crazy over Facebook; this artificial habitat which is online home to so many people.
Users spend most of their online time on Facebook, chatting with friends, sharing stuff, consuming media, organizing events, etc. As a result, brands and companies turn their mordorian eye on Facebook. For most of these companies social web marketing has melted down to the questions: How do we get into the streams of users and how do we gather fans for our fansite.
These questions are absolutely the wrong ones to start with. Brand Executives should ask one and only one thing:
Do we want to engage with our customers?
I literally hate it when Social Media guys talk about how all these platforms are “tools” and how you just need the right mix and the right campaign strategy. This is all crab. Facebook is not a tool, it is highly complex and at the core of people's lives. It represents and reconnects the strings of friendship. Every shared item, every comment, every picture is emotional and potentially leads to social interaction.
If you and your product have nothing to add to this construct then you better stay away.
Trusting Simple Kitchen on Venmo is like leaving your credit card with them so they can just charge you whenever you’re done eating. You don’t need to bring cash or wait for them to process your credit card anymore. Plus, they’re going to be sending special Venmo cash back deals to their trusting customers.
This sounds great!
Obama is stimulating. Davos is deliberating. C-levels are eliminating. Wall St is recriminating. Welcome to the macropocalypse: no one, it seems, can put the global economy back together again.
It's time to reboot capitalism. So where do we begin?...
