Want to Join the Question of the Week Editorial Board?

June 9, 2009 by Deborah Crooks 

Love, appreciate and use Social Media for both work and personal use as well as talking and blogging about it? Interested in trends affecting the social media industry? Want to help shape the Social Media Club Question of the Week initiative? We’re looking for a few new members to round out our Editorial Board and that could be you.
Launched at SXSW ‘09, the goal of the Social Media Club Question of the Week is to create a hub of conversation for best practices regarding New & Social Media around the globe. As you’ll see if you visit the SMCQ Archive, the blog features links to board and reader posts, comments, polls, presentations and Tweets in response to the questions we pose each week. The goal is to create a real-time archive of the discourse surrounding new media as it evolves. SMC Editorial Board members participate in a weekly call and are strongly encouraged to do research and post on topic during the week. If you’re interested in being considered, please write deborah@socialmediaclub.org and include information about your participation in social media thus far, links to your sites and any questions you may have.

    I think that politics of the internet are – and have always been – closer to pure Anarchism than anything else. Socialism is mandatory, and based on coercion. Therefore, the analogy to the Net instantly falls apart.

    Indeed the Net – and open-source projects in particular – illustrate beautifully the theory of “Mutual Aid” promoted by legendary Anarchist philosopher Peter Kropotkin.

    According to Kropotkin when large groups of people are free to do as they please (as we are on the Internet), they will discover that they have more to gain from cooperation than from competition. Open-source is the perfect example of this. The programmers who work on a piece of massive software like Blender 3D aren’t just gaining satisfaction and brand cachet, they’re getting the software that they want to work with!

    I agree that the “socialism” angle is pure sensationalism. Which is a pity, because the analogy to Anarchism is much more interesting.
