| Virtual workers are also changing the way professional social networks function. Social networking sites like myspace.com or business networking sites like linkedin.com provide early evidence of what will happen when individuals take advantage of networked communication power to enhance their personal and professional lives. In essence, a highly collaborative, trusted network will evolve, keeping people connected and aware of opportunities like never before.
There will be a day when the physical organization becomes irrelevant. In its place will stand the community you belong to, the professional services you can provide or need accomplished, all negotiated through your trusted provider network of "linked in" mercenary contacts. This shift of power to community networking may combine various elements of technology and the Internet into a supercharged market for professional services where we search, bid, and deliver business in a completely virtual world. |
