COINs and Communications Technology
Peter A. Gloor · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2006
This chapter shows how new communications technologies have pushed COINs to the tipping point. Aspects of online behavior — the “Three Dimensions of Online Behavior” — are discussed in the context of COIN success, and the “many-to-many multicast” (a concept developed by the author), and collaborative Web workspace are detailed. The chapter ends with an “outlook for the future” that recaps some of what was learned and leads the reader into the appendices.
