[p2p-research] The Numerati. A story of the Taylorization of the service and information economies!

[Samuel Rose]

Hmmm.. so how does datamining modelling people relate to p2p phenomenon and
peer production?

What if people started sharing data among trusted networks, and datamining
and modelling themselves? That is a question I was asking a couple of years
ago. Even one individual could datamine themselves, given a good model.
Then, that individual could pool data with others doing the same thing for
mutually-agreed-upon purposes that don't yet really exist (actually in some
rudimentary cases they do, like people sharing where the best gas price is
in online databses, etc)

Expecially within small local economies, this can be very empowering. Like,
community members are willing to share data about certain things with local
businesses to help them out-compete bigger international businesses, for
instance. People would need the http://attentiontrust.org/ -type mechanisms
and technologies in place and working well before they will really feel
comfortable venturing into this territory. But, I believe the building
blocks are there....
