From the various trends that we have been evaluating in this class and their many effects, we can clearly see the position that Blellow is taking. They are recognizing the labor is becoming less geographically anchored and that through the bandwidth law, there is more and more freedom to collaborate effectively through additional feature sets. It also leverages the value of the "network" of professionals idea in its most primal sense.

ReplyDeleteThe broader question is: What are the leading indicators of success?? How will we know that it is gaining traction against other alternatives in this space.. Worth watching, for sure.. (despite the strange name!). Thanks Nick.
How to view the comparative success of various competitors in such a space is definitely an interesting question. Besides the obvious number of members (both production elements and consumption elements), I would also seem to think that velocity of money exchange in the ecosystem might be the best evaluation of its power versus its competitors. The level of available compensation in an environment such as Blellow would provide, in my view, the incentive for more and more people to enter the environment and thus power the inherent network effects. More money changing hands through successful project and that swell of project talent would also create more reinforcement for hiring agents to join the environment.
