Thanks Jonathan, I’m glad that you found the post helpful. As for User/Submitter, the most obvious model would be an HR broker. The asset is Human — people’s time is basically being “rented” out — and the service is matching people who are selling their time with those that want to buy that time, a broker model.
At the same time you could also argue that this is an IP Broker, more specifically a labour exchange model since the buyer’s end goal isn’t really to pay people to Digg their site or article, instead they are interested in driving more traffic to their site and they use Digg to accomplish this task. Either way we’re definitely talking about a broker, and then depending on how you define the service based on the benefit received it could fall to either an HR or IP type.

Incredible. Yes, a long post but well worth it, thank you. I came across the MIT paper first, which led me to this series of articles. Needless to say, these versions are MUCH easier to digest. I found this extremely valuable. Having these terms really does help build a stronger mental picture of the playing field we see on the internet today. With our company, Chatroll, we see a wide range of these models involved. This seems to be increasingly the case with many internet businesses these days, Amazon being a great example: primarily an Online Retailer but additionally a Bit Vendor (Amazon MP3 and Unbox), Metered Usage (Amazon S3), Virtual Storefront (Amazon Sellers), and now even a Niche Advertising Network (Clickriver). As for models that weren't listed, I'm curious how something like User/Submitter (Buying/Selling Diggs) would fit into this model. Possibly a Human Resources Broker for Intellectual Landlord (Attractor)s? Or an Advertising Network? It's an interesting case! Once again thank you for this excellent series. It was a great read. -J
