We used to be required to be good, then better, then professional, then experts, then Seth Godin says we must be remarkable.
And now we must be ICONIC if we want to be noticed in the planetary economy. In the service/knowledge/empathy economy attention is at an all time low and evaporating; mind space is a deficit the world of the consumer.
Google maps & Google Earth are becoming the key drivers of ICONOMIX with its simply "more" option. This is the emergence of a visual interface of the planetary economy as a single table top for trade, soon to be resolved by Google to every level and category of service and goods. This will benchmark the process of colonization of other planets in the future. There is no turning back.
Now anybody and everybody can promote their ICONIC offer in the flat world.
Now you can find out anything about anywhere. All the planetary information is becoming ICONOMIZED to help us recall (not remember) the concept of each icon category. Wikipedia will be known as a source for knowledge; others are still not clear.
This is the begginging of an ICONIC GOLDRUSH. Millions of developpers will attempt to promote their icons for free in hopes of selling the full version or the updated version down the line.
We are diverse planetary society resolved to each individual as an icon in the one machine. Each icon has its charecteristics and each person is an icon prosumer. Icons are the new currency. Best displayed by iTunes and their applications for the iPhone cult.
Several notions support the concept of the gradually evolving "iCONOMICS".
The first notion is the notion of the world being flat as so eloquentlly presented by Mr. Friedmanin his book "The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century".

Auri, it seems that the guy that wrote "The World is Flat" has already written another book that he says he was wrong in some aspects of the previous book. So they've told me ...
