Online communities are blurring the border between producer and users
PARTICIPATION & SHARING: Involve non-professional community users to contribute with ideas
TRANSPARANCY: Companies give away control (e.g. source code, professional content) to the community
CO-CREATION: Enable community users to improve their product and extend their services thorough co-creation (and in that way also bridge the digital divide)

The key for the Future Internet is to bring together professional and non-professional media creators

Beyond the user-centric approach - Towards community-centric design
28
Conclusion
Still, community-centric methods are immature, and existing user-centric design methods need to be adapted in order to fit a new paradigm for innovation in online communities
New approaches such as Living Labs are promising, but further development of associated methods and processes is needed
A community-centric design approach is being recognized, as this will help companies to tap into the enormous potential co-creation with communities offer for creating new applications and services on the Future Media Internet
