An interesting web2.0 question, when your business is built upon user content, what do you owe the leaders of the community?

A big site like Digg faces a significant issue here, but what about the web2.0 functionalities you build into your own site? Is this another case of training your brand to live and let live, or is it a case of losing control of your operation?

Are your community content generators customers or are they simbiotes? Are your objectives the same, or are you financing your own downfall? Are you prepared for the answer?

An interesting article from former editor of Harvard Business Review on the future of computing. In essence, the growth of the internet as the data and application resource, and the transition from desktop computing to dumb terminals connected to the data cloud.

Its a bit of “Back to the Future”, but interesting in the implications of information security, and more importantly the potential for extended reach of on-line marketing efforts, the spread of viral promotional activities, and the sharing of informational products across a broader base of users.

Don’t know that I find it “Terrifying” myself, but there is some good oil on how to manage your own data and identity in an age of consolidation.
