It's taken a while for me to respond to this. But having mulled it over, I
really do think the distinction between 'user driven' as outlined by Joe
and 'fourth party' services as espoused by Doc is important.
My conclusion:
fourth party = 'good'
user-driven = 'bad'

Howdy,
One of the piece of work that began life in the
ProjectVRM Standards
Committee is a definition for User Driven
Services. This started as a
group effort to think through the
criteria for a service to be "VRM"
compliant. Once we started
unpacking that idea, I realized there is a
larger category worth talking
about, which I called "User Driven Services".
This terminology came out
of a conversation I had started in the VRM
community refining a notion of
"User Driven Search", described in these
two
posts:
http://blog.joeandrieu.com/2008/07/12/towards-user-driven-search/
and
http://blog.joeandrieu.com/2008/07/20/notes-on-user-driven-search/
While
testing the term out at SXSW this year, it was clear that the term
neatly
captures the ultimate goal in a global transformation that has,
in my
opinion, driven most of the interesting innovations and
entrepreneurial
successes in the last few decades.
I wrote yesterday about that
connection
here:
http://blog.joeandrieu.com/2009/04/24/the-great-reconfiguration/
And
today, I began a series of articles presenting a complete definition
of
this term over the next two
weeks:
http://blog.joeandrieu.com/2009/04/26/introducing-user-driven-services/
I'd
love to hear your thoughts, either here on the ProjectVRM list or as
comments on the blog.
Cheers,
