"The key motivator of Social Media and the core spirit of Web 2.0 is a mind switch called Sharism," writes Isaac Mao. "Sharism suggests a re-orientation of personal values. We see it in User Generated Content. It is the pledge of Creative Commons." I might word things differently here and there, and my emphasis my vary in places, but Isaac Mao's sharism has a lot in common with my own views. I like the way he stresses that while sharism embodies the values of communism and socialism, "Under Sharism, you can keep ownership, if you want. But I like to share. And this is how I choose to spread ideas, and prosperity. Sharism is totally based on your own consensus."
