Today, the word potlatch is being used in the Internet Economy in which a link is given for a link. The term "potlatch protocol" is another term associated with the Internet where websites support each other in return for the same.

A very comprehensive site on potlatches is "Potlatch: the Nemesis of Assimilation" by Anthony Bettanin at http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/courses/lawdemo...
