The 10 Core Principles of Social Media

1. Associations are inherently good – Knowing more people expands opportunity and conversation
2. Information wants to be free – Free society runs on free information. Information hoarding is the enemy of discourse and growth.
3. Economies have currencies – All economies trade on specialized currencies.
4. Decentralization is freedom – Decentralized power structures spur creativity, growth, and innovation.
5. Rules beget rules – The more rules you have, the more rules you make.
6. Karma is real – You give more, you get more.
7. Context is Fluid – How you view an object today will be different tomorrow.  Don’t destroy tomorrow’s value.
8. Immediacy in all things – Strike while the iron is hot.  Eat when the food is fresh.
9. Communication is blood - Communication is the river upon which information flows.
10. Findability is power – Unfindable information or people are irrelevant.
