Heralding the Age of Community Driven Content Providers

[deobserver]

I'm just marvelling at the ingenuity of some online companies such as Schmap Guides or Threadless. So now the concept is spreading from books (the whole Chicken Soup for the Soul series) to other items as well.

I suppose it's not entirely new. Linux, and other open source systems have been around for a while, they're all community driven, and have spawned several companies like RedHat and Platform Computing.

** I don't work for any of the companies listed.
