Jonathan Schwartz turns Sun Microsystems into a sharing economy company

Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun Microsystems has launched a very sharing economy-like rebranding of Sun. We had one enthusiastic discussion with some folks at Sun about sponsoring the Cooperation Project, but it looks like they are concentrating their budget on advertising right now. We're still looking for backing!

It was also a perfect opportunity to discuss Sun's new branding. As you've probably seen, we've been talking up the Participation Age. The Participation Age leaves behind the network as a tool for the uninformed to access great databases in the sky (known as the Information Age), and drives toward a network in which individuals can participate. They can drive the dialog, drive economic opportunity, for themselves and their communities. They can educate, not simply be educated. Individuals can participate - leveraging a growing world of free services and technologies, from blogs to Java, wikis to a world of wonderful new services.

Now, I've heard from a few stockholders saying, "What? Sharing? Free Software? What's up with that! Go make some money!" And so I thought I'd put down, once and for all, why we're committed to sharing, to open source, open standards, and eradicating the digital divide. Ready?

Because we're going to make more money.

How? It's trivially simple. Why do carriers give handsets away for free? Because they make money on the subscription necessary to receive the handset. Why do banks give away free checking, or free credit cards? Because they acquire new customers. Why do Google and Yahoo! give away free search? Because there's a fortune in the end result.
