What makes people work for free? - Follow up.

There have been some interesting thoughts about ‘What makes people work for free?’ since it was published on openbusiness.cc. The idea of ‘micro-innovation’, the act of making very small contributions to a much larger, much broader innovation sprung up at principledinnovation.com. A reply to this idea was the idea of ‘micro-volunteerism’ i.e. you can put a touch on something and never spend time on it again. It would be interesting to see more organisations working on models of stimulating people to contribute with as much ease as possible, especially in times with low incentive to volunteer as identified by principledinnovation.
