I don't think we've yet exhausted all of the opportunities that collective action has brought. Obviously, we believe in crowdfunding at CivicSponsor, but I think it's a demonstration of the potential for (as the previous commenter discussed) integrating online interactions with the real world. Check-ins sort of got us there, crowdfunding is a step closer. Anything that draws real connections that have value from the easy-to-create online connections that social networks offer has the potential to be huge. I'd say Groupon and AirBnB are really part of that trend, and I don't think it's over just yet.
