  Wikinomics: Harnessing the Power of Mass Collaboration

  What do MySpace, InnoCentive, Flickr, Second Life, YouTube, Linux, the Human Genome Project and the Chinese Motorcycle Industry have in common? There are examples of mass collaboration -- where peers come together to create value.
  
  Today, thanks to the New Web, encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and much else are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions.
