not the technology trends or percentages of certain distributions idea that fascinates me most of 2010 report on Technorati blogofera . I refer to the link for anyone who wants to deepen the numbers and graphs and tables of stuff on their blog. I prefer to take some data in the evidence of another model of relations and the economy emerging from the world of blogs. 64% of Americans said bloggers do it for fun as opposed to only 21% of those who seek a return. 74% look at writing a blog of personal satisfaction and three-quarters of all bloggers before any economic consideration just want to get in touch with people who have the same ideas through the expression of its own. Also look for 74% reciprocity, developing contacts and leaving comments on other blogs. I see
develop online gift economy drawn up by those who seek to ensure the reader's attention but first seek an enrichment interior made for research, knowledge, new relationships, dialogue.
This is something that had never happened on this scale ever in the history of humanity and especially between strangers who do not belong the same tribe or nation.
This phenomenon, which may seem marginal to those who see the economy only as the sum of economic transactions, has already created a few years in the largest mass ever existed for free content (blogs, of course, but also video, images, and so on), and largest encyclopedia of mankind (Wikipedia), simply unthinkable without the generosity of the web.
This gift economy produces wealth, a wealth of knowledge and made reports that in a few years will be counted in the gross domestic product of most developed nations, which will be increasingly based on the quality of the people. It
is believed that the "new" economy was basically an economy made by Information & Communication Technology fast: illusion gone disastrously and the impoverishment of many.
The new economy will be (maybe) an economy that is already here and elsewhere, and especially on the web, an economy that go beyond the misery of monetization for gifts without advancing toward self-interest, relationships without any ulterior motives, dialogue without pretense.
