RE: What is Social Network 3.0 & How can HIVE Lead the Transformation

The good old days indeed, where the bullitin boards wasn't in the hands of commercial parties, but in the hands of fans. Where the internet was still breathing freedom of information. And then the mass start using it. And the internet was turned into a reveneue model to serve the mass. We see this happening in all industries, when enough money can be made to allow business without a real tie into the segment itself, such segment is more or less 'robbed' from its original identity and experiences an ever increasing commercialism in its products and services. The same happened with the Internet, the social media and other services used by the mass. Though this process seems to be the same, due to the nature of the internet and social media, the effects of commercialising the product 'information' has far more concequencies in people lifes.
