It&#8217;s also highly relevant to the issues important to the Winds audience, as <a href=\"http:\/\/globalguerrillas.typepad.com\/globalguerrillas\/2007\/03\/the_bazaar_of_t.html\" target=\"browser\">John Robb points out in his latest post<\/a> at Global Guerrillas.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ll disagree with some of the more extreme evangelists here in Vegas who believe that everything in business will be dissolved into a soup of community, just as I&#8217;ll disagree with Robb when he says that the guerilla &#8216;Bazaar of Violence&#8217; poses almost insurmountable challenges to traditional states. What I argue will happen is that the Web 2.0 challenge to major businesses &#8211; like newspapers &#8211; is that newspapers share will decline enough that they can no longer act as a monopoly in setting prices for ads.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, states will see that their monopoly on legitimacy will be challenged, and states with weak legitimacy will find themselves declining as they can&#8217;t maintain the level of legitimacy necessary to function.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the pivotal question, and it&#8217;s both an issue I&#8217;ll be dealing with professionally (in a business environment) and as a citizen and blogger (here).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/community2.0\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"techtag\">community2.0<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armed Liberal is as a Web 2.0 community conference and is seeing some newly-obvious links to world politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1369"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1369\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
