Comments edit
I think the work byt Botsmann and Roo has to be taken with some reservations, and the article should be scaled down within this regard. I am an academic, and in research it would probably be Benkler 2001 - "Coarse's Penguin", who mentioned this concept as the first author.
Benkler suggested that the types of businesses that Botsmann is talking about (in 2010, so nearly 9 years earlier, and why is Benkler not even mentioned here??!) became possible because of social interaction barriers being lowered thanks to the social web. Benkler puts this concept into pre-existent theories on groups, specifically he builds on work by Coase from the 30ths, who tried to explain why people organise themselves into firms.
This article is unjustly biased towards two specific authors (Botsmann and Roo), this is not an encyclopeadic entry with appropriate chronological/historical context. I recommend it be improved, as suggested, to include other references from serrious academics.
