You make a good observation about the parallel changes the Internet has brought to a variety of fields. It's a shift from large homogeneous corporations to small personal brands, and it's happening in software development, the music industry, and now the media industry. Thanks for your comment, Gerald.

Obviously the industry are different, however Jackie, as you stated, “The evolution of the participatory web has blurred the line”. This is also true in the OS space. Independent firms, as small as one person, use well-known OS products to quickly create and launch their brands. The result is many small firms providing more personal services to their clients. Of course not all things are equal; but it works out well in the end. I have recently read Jeff Jarvis’s book titled What Would Google Do? I have to agree with him and it seems you as well. The modern firm will have to be open and accessible, understand abundance and work with extended networks. The people have power and their not afraid to use it. Now if I could just figure how trackback links work I may launch my carrier as a professional blogger… I cut my teeth in the virtual world with open source (OS) ecommerce software.
