That's what sets Netocracy theory apart from say "attention economy" / "wealth of networks" / "new economy" type thinking.<BR/><BR/>Not that "attention" isn't an essentially important idea too in netocracy, but "imploitation" reveals a different character.<BR/><BR/>If you believe it's all about "attention" then simply *maximizing* your number of connections is a good thing.

Maybe that doesn't qualify as a neutral format, but it is easier to read in that format.<BR/><BR/>I was impressed by the word "imploit" which I hadn't seen before, but the notion is important.John Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126222842766191343noreply@blogger.com
