Trading with Trust: Social Media and the Sharing Economy - Social Marketing Fella

Trading with Trust: Social Media and the Sharing Economy - Social Marketing Fella | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

If you seek the social activity that best fits the power of social media, look to the past so you may see the future: Look to the timeless practice of bartering, or the rise of the “Sharing Economy,” in which technology allows people the world over to exchange goods and services without using money; look at the opportunity the Web offers to make this exercise an international enterprise, strengthened by the urgency of social media and popularized with the publication of every post and tweet concerning this spontaneous phenomenon; look to a revival of classic values – look to the everlasting virtues of trading with trust – that can be as intimate as they are immediate.

Conversations and narratives are the new documents — Medium

Conversations and narratives are the new documents — Medium | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

With the emergence of writing, physical presence was no longer necessary for sharing information. In other words, a person’s being there was not necessary for their influence to be felt. As typing replaced handwriting or when movable type replaced the hand copying of words, it became even easier to communicate with words that replicated ideas and simulated human interaction without face-to-face contact.

The incredible success of the social media Red Labour Campaign Behind Jeremy Corbyn's Victory | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
The #JezWeCan social media campaign has been, by a long stretch, the biggest single campaign for an individual politician this country has ever seen. … It’s about the democratic possibilities which are opened up by this new medium and this extensive reach.

#JezWeDid: from Red Labour to Jeremy Corbyn – a tale from social media

#JezWeDid: from Red Labour to Jeremy Corbyn – a tale from social media | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Ok, let’s start at the beginning. Well, not quite at the beginning. I should just explain that I’m not seeking to give some sort of rounded, academic history of the Jeremy Corbyn campaign. That will have to wait for another day, when the actual work has been done and we’re surveying from the top of a hill marked ‘Socialism in Our Lifetime’. For the moment, I can only offer a partial glimpse of how the campaign was constructed – and at that, only one aspect of it – the social media campaign. Of course there are a thousand other strands. I don’t deny that, but this is the strand which I have been almost totally immersed for the last four 14 weeks and, as it has been almost totally ignored by most of the mainstream media, I think it’s an important tale to tell. Of course, one of the reasons why social media is ignored by the mainstream is that there is often no single person to hang the story around. Social media campaigning is mostly a collective, anonymous enterprise – and where’s the story in that?
