You may remember that Wikinomics begins with the example of Goldcorp, the Canadian firm that released ALL data on its N. Ontario deposits and created a global Challenge competition to guide them on best places to mine for gold. They got thousands of outside-the-box ideas, the top prize was won by a consortium of two Australian companies that created a 3-D visualization of the site (and had never visited it!), and more than 8 million ounces of gold have been found there -- rescuing Goldcorp from near-bankruptcy.
