I can see details of Daniel Pink’s book Whole New Mind playing out when I read this article in today’s New York Times about amateur video creators being paid for the popularity of their videos.
A number of video sites now pay contributors if their video ends up getting viewed a certain number of times.
I particularly am thinking about Pink’s comments about the importance of design as a 21st century ability.
Microsoft Cozi.com has a new “social networking” tool aimed at parents and families.
Cozi.com has a calendaring feature, online shopping list, contacting family feature and photo screen savers.
(similar to the tools in Google, but much more easily accessible).
You can even message your family members via their phones, pda’s or email.
Google tools are excellent, but I do think Microsoft the Cozi group has beat them to the punch on the use of this tool for families, because Google’s pieces aren’t really all collected into one tool yet.
Update: Thanks to Samantha from Cozi for getting my details correct!
