DCO Weekend Reader – 9/26/08

The web is a vast repository of opinions, commentary and occasionally, wisdom.  Here’s a selection of the best articles I read over the past week.

Wow – a great week with some really outstanding articles.  The last couple of weeks I’ve kind of felt like the Weekly Readers weren’t as strong as some in the past, but this week it is really hard to say which of the following articles you shouldn’t read.  They are all great, so I’ve included a bit more overview than I usually do so you can pick out the ones of most interest and value.

Thought-Provokers

For Fun

For fun this week, I just want to highlight a new company that is in online beta right now.  The company is Akoha (www.akoha.com) and they call themselves the world’s first “social reality game”.  Akoha is a fascinating concept combining online community building with “deliberate acts of kindness” in the real world.  As I said, the website and company are currently in closed beta testing, but you can get an overview of how it works, here.  I submitted to become part of the beta and you can bet I’ll give you some writeups on it if I am chosen.  For the time being I applaud the concept and I can’t wait to see how the company rolls out and I’m also very interested in seeing their monetization model.
