I came across these three ways to share via Russell Davis<\/a> who attributes them to Clay Shirky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sharing Goods – the hardest to do, because if you give a physical good you no longer have it, you’re deprived of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sharing Services – like giving helping someone across the road – you don’t lose out on physical stuff but it’s an inconvenience.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sharing Information – like giving someone directions – you don’t lose stuff, it doesn’t take much time, no inconvenience.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also interesting are Russell’s further thoughts on this where he discusses the relative value of mixtapes vs playlists and how the tangibility of mixtapes actually increases their value.<\/p>\n

I find this an incredibly useful way to think about sharing in relation to bookleteer. Give away a printed eBook or StoryCube and you lose that object – but the person you give it to feels valued as a result of that exchange. Email someone an eBook or StoryCube and you don’t lose anything except the time it takes to write the email – but the value may be diluted as a result. Sometimes you won’t have a choice about which way you distribute your eBooks (see A Little Something About Me<\/a> for one example of why this might be) but when you do the question to ask might be – how do you want the recipient of your eBook to feel..?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
