The information here combined with the those in the link/references and their links and references seems like a mine of information. Just read Tim Oreilly’s ‘work on stuff that matters’. That in itself was an amazing inspiring article. Thanks for sharing this.

I agree that the future of work may be and should involve more collaboration across teams, individuals etc. as Dan Tapscott describes in Wikinomics. One of the problems, and therefore a great entrepreneurial opportunity, is that workers are often afraid to give up their employment contracts with companies because of things like 401-Ks, health insurance, stock purchase plans etc. If someone could figure out a way for independent workers to be able to save for retirement (similar to 401-Ks), buy health insurance and build wealth with equity participation, you may see more independent workers involved in collaborative “Noded” work.
