I remember David (@DT) talking at a Wiki Wednesday about the 1, 9, 90 rule. 1 percent of a community does most of the work and organisation, 9 percent get involved (such as collaborate and attend events) and the other 90 percent are relatively passive and consume the output of the 10 percent. We find exactly this with running Mobile Monday London and would be good to talk about tools and approaches these sort of networks can use to self organise. I want to create a solution that cuts down noise, everyone relies too heavily on messages (email, sms etc..) to organise and the whole thing becomes a noise culture … so how can we manage without filling everyones inbox?

I’ve not seen this happen before quite so apparently effortlessly (I know it isn’t really effortless, but usually there are more arguements!).

Euan,
I think the answer is very defintely yes, and I agree we have the potential to invent whole new ways of running business with the web 2.0 tools we have now. Expect a post tomorrow as a companion piece.
