Oscar Berg just alerted me to a nice post on the Connectbeam Social Computing Blog about “Micro Economies of Attention” that, in turn, discusses a work by researchers in Hewlett Packard’s Social Computing Lab evaluating the motivations of employees to participate in organizations’ social software applications.
I’ve been preparing a series of posts about the macroeconomics of information and attention, so these subjects are top of mind. This article addresses the complementary microeconomic side of the discussion.
