Social media is the social interaction among people in which they create, share or exchange
information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.
Where do good ideas come from?

Sharing Nicely: On Shareable Goods and the Emergence of Sharing as a Modality of
Economic Productionby: Yochai Benkler
Sharing!• Social Relations and ethic
of sharing (instead of price system)
• Underappreciated • Sharing goods saves more
money• Shareable goods are
‘lumpy’ and of ‘midgrained granularity’
Other Types of Sharing- Individuals sharing
information- Discussions become
widespread through technological advancements
- Technology doesn't determine the level of sharing but does set a threshold.
Sharing is good, right?
WRONG!
