On one hand, a number of the concepts behind Trust Agents, particularly: finding your own way building relationships and working within those relationships to do great things predate the Web. The Web allows a scale and reach that wasn't previously available. However, especially in commodity-based industries, I think older ways still rule. But I don't really know much in detail beyond my own employer. @Lucy – the short answer is that I don’t know. On one hand, a number of the concepts behind Trust Agents, particularly:

The Web allows a scale and reach that wasn’t previously available.

However, especially in commodity-based industries, I think older ways still rule. But I don’t really know much in detail beyond my own employer.

It raised a question for me. Do you think the Trust agent way of doing things has become hegemonic? Is this now the dominant idea in building business relationships? It certainly makes sense to me but I am curious to know where we are in the cylce with this one. The idea has clearly spread beyond the elite but has it penetrated the small business in the small town? I would be interested to hear how far you think we have to go and whether it will ever go all the way before the next thing shows up. Thanks. Interesting review. It raised a question for me.
