Pimping charity
When you try and "monetize your users", you accept the almost obscene assumption that people are meant to be pimped out, sold to the highest bidder, resources to be slashed, burned, and exploited.
But that's not how the edgeconomy works. Businesses need what connected consumers have to give more than connected consumers need what businesses have to sell.
Let's put that a little more formally. Monetization is ugly because it blinds us to the truth that value must flow in many directions. That's the essence of edge strategy, in fact.
That's why businesses that aren't deeply, durably connected to people are already falling apart (hi, Facebook, Gap, and Microsoft).
Just ask yourself: how manyfirmsindustries has "monetization" already killed?
If monetization is a problem for commercial business, how much more so for charity?
