    Collaboration was what happened with Ron Paul breaking the single day fund raising records twice. The idea, organizing, work and then donations was done by individuals with nothing happening from the central Ron Paul campaign.

    Obama was and is heavily institutionalize, top down. Obama is very command and control oriented. Some people might work for free but all their actions are passed down from a central authority.

    Isn't Flicker itself an institution? Without Flicker or other photo sharing institutions, how can this be achieved?

    Watching these TED videos seems to build my creativity... Even though most of the videos have nothing to do with what I'm studying; incredible.

    even if it lacks value and quality it would still add to the gross value of e.g Flickr if it was included. Or put it another way, if it wasn't included it would reduce the value of Flickr.

    The point was, that with a traditional model of institutions (firms) it is impossible to capture value from the "outskirts" if trying to be cost-beneficial. With the new model this value can be added without adding too high a cost to this single picture.
