The Future of Trust
Gossip can be a good thing for trusting people, especially as the size of the community you're in gets bigger. I sometimes call these trust technologies as ways as sort of enhance our trust from just trusting the people we know directly to people we don't know yet. And one of the first early technologies here is gossip. This is also attributed to anthropologist robin dunbar.
