New Post: Social Media was just the first phase of disruption --The Collaborative Economy disrupts direct revenues. They said P2P social media was disruptive --but we still struggle to measure the ROI. Ten years later, P2P commerce in the Collaborative Economy is causing real world revenue impacts. A few stats: - Yesterday, across newsstands across the SF Bay area and online, it was reported that Taxis are suffering 65% loss in rides –two thirds of revenue lost in less than 3 years. - It’s not limited to SF, but DC taxis are down 22% and a once dominant taxi cab company says they have less than 18mos of life left. Also, Uber’s revenues are doubling every six months, - A recent study by Boston University shows that for every 1% growth of Airbnb, hotels are impacted half a percent –and Airbnb is growing at an incredible rate. -Lending Club, where people lend to each other instead of going to banks, is having hockey-stick like growth, $5b in loans in less than five years. web-strategist/blog/2014/09/24/disruption-from-the-collaborative-economy/
