The Attention Economy

Das hier ist eine recht lesenswerte Lektüre: The Attention Economy of Social Media.

Social behaviors are shaped and informed by design, but not explained by design. The obvious reason that none of us can see each other’s twitter usage (groups, or subsets of followers actually viewed and paid attention to) is that if designed into twitter, activity would change instantly and radically. This is not just a matter of privacy, but a deeply social matter.

Interessanter Artikel. Man muss vielleicht zweimal drüber lesen und sich seine eigene Meinung bilden.
