Past theories of consumer innovation and creativity were devised before the emergence of the profound collaborative pos-sibilities of technology. With the diffusion of networking technologies, collective consumer innovation is taking on new forms that are transforming the nature of consumption and work and, with it, society and marketing. We theorize, examine, dimensionalize, and organize these forms and processes of online collective consumer innovation. Extending past theories of informationalism, we follow this macro-social paradigm shift into grassroots regions that have irrevocable impacts on business and society. Business and society need categories and procedures to guide their interactions with this powerful and growing phenomenon. We classify and describe four types of online creative consumer communities—Crowds, Hives, Mobs, and Swarms. Collective innovation is produced both as an aggregated byproduct of everyday information consump-tion and as a result of the efforts of talented and motivated groups of innovative e-tribes.

This research explored the identity re-creation process as it occurs via the consumption of Internet dating services. Informants were interviewed about how they use their posted dating profiles to explore aspects of their own identities and about the perceived impact that online and offline feedback to these profiles have upon their identities. Informants ' responses indicated that individuals can re-create their identities through the use of Internet dating services. Furthermore, online and offline validation of the identities presented in dating profiles seem to have an impact on individuals ' beliefs about themselves and their behavior in both online and offline environments. Postmodern society is marked by constant change, which "infiltrate[s] every sphere of social life. In postmodern culture, fashion is not only clothing; it is bodies, objects, and lifestyles... " (Morgado, 1996, p. 44). One such fluid aspect of contemporary life that has been of particular interest to researchers is the way in which individuals go about creating and re-creating their identities

For more than forty years, researchers have detailed how people develop attachments to their material possessions as they create and evolve a sense of self. Over the past several years people have increasingly acquired virtual possessions. These include both possessions that are losing their material integrity (books, photos, music, movies) as well as things that have never had material form (e.g. email archives, social networking profiles, personal behavior logs). However, little is known about how people perceive, value, and form attachments to their virtual possessions. To investigate, we conducted a study with teens exploring their virtual possessions. Preliminary findings reveal three key themes and suggest emerging interaction design opportunities for new forms for people’s virtual things.

Social software challenges strategic thinking in important ways: empowering creative, independent individuals implies indeterminate and uncertain reactions and creations in support of, or in opposition to, management’s original thinking. We build a framework that organizes research on social software, taking perspectives from both inside and outside companies. We use this framework to introduce the contributions to this special issue in terms of strategy, technology, and community and to ask a series of questions for strategy research that pays particular attention to value creation and appropriation, the role of technology both as tool and mediator between managers and users, and the role that management can play in communities, both as leaders and in shaping boundaries.
