The prosumer– The first time I heard it was in the video below. HT: Bob Carlton.

At ReIMAGINE we encourage our constituents to not just consume our events, ideas, and learning labs, but to actively participate and collaborate with us. Hopefully we are encouraging ownership by cultivating the collaboration and conversation. Is this a prosumer culture?

Two other fascinating forums/events are the SuperHappyDevHouse–a monthly Bay Area hacking/productivity/party– and coworking–a community/collaboration space for developers and designers.

If you’ve seen the video check out the related TechCruch article about Virtual Goods: The next big business model.
