I am re-reading Eugen Wei's "Status as a Service (StaaS)". One of the most insightful pieces on social networks I've ever read. This paragraph currently stands out as I read through this great blog post. 

"What ties many of these explanations together is social capital theory, and how we analyze social networks should include a study of a social network's accumulation of social capital assets and the nature and structure of its status games. In other words, how do such companies capitalize, either consciously or not, on the fact that people are status-seeking monkeys, always trying to seek more of it in the most efficient way possible?"  

What makes @farcaster interesting are the multitude of social capital assets and status games to accumulate those assets.

Status as a Service is a must read at least once a year if not once a quarter. linking below and encourage everyone to read his more recent musings, as well.

I’ve never read this, though status seeking monkeys is a good hook.

Queued up for later.
