Lisa Gansky has always been early. She was early in 1993 when, with Tim O?Reilly and Dale Dougherty, she co-founded the first commercial website Global Network Navigator (GNN) and then, as CEO, sold it to AOL in 1995. And she was early when, in 1999, she co-founded the photography sharing website ofoto and then, as CEO, sold it to Kodak in 2001. And now Gansky is early in recognizing that the 21st century will be all about sharing. Rather than a technology start-up, however, Gansky?s latest venture into the future is a book. In The Mesh: Why The Future of Business is Sharing (released this week), Gansky argues that the quintupling of traffic on the Internet between 2009 and 2013 is creating what she calls a ?mesh? economy of shared services and products like Netflix, Zopa, Zipcar, Lending Club, Kickstarter, ThredUP, SmartyPig, Etsy and Smava. She argues that the trillion Internet connected devices expected to exist by 2013 will enable us to return to a ?simple life? in which we will be emancipated from many of the supposed material ?necessities? of the 20th century industrial era.
