http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspxYahoo is adding some "wisdom of the crowds" to its local listings.  I think the idea is cool and should make for better listings.  I wanted to give a good example or something, but while I was able to edit the entry of one recently closed restaurant inen-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28660Tue, 09 Jan 2007 13:07:26 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28660Charles Allen, Wilmington, DE"dual core hard drives" ? I thought you were some kind of webified techno geek, and here you go not knowing the difference between a microprocessor and a storage device. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core_(computing) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk, then get back to us about Web 2.0 http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28661Tue, 09 Jan 2007 13:16:58 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28661Charles Allen, Wilmington, DEI tried Second Life a few times, and it reminded me of those Wiliam Gibson novels, but really, don't you have enough to do in your First Life already than spend it playing Second Life? Granted, it's no better (or worse) than most hobbies in terms of cost in time and money, so I suppose if you have absolutely nothing better to do with your life, and no First Life social circles, by all means, dive into your computer and live vicariously though Second Life.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28690Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:02:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28690Jared, Greeley, COSo, what I've learned from Mariah Carey is that I can sue someone for having the same last name as me. I always liked the porn name "Arnold Schwartzenpecker" (notice, he never sued)http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28706Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:39:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28706Will FemiaHA! Charles, haven't you noticed the distinct lack of gadget coverage in this blog? I leave that stuff up to Gary. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16527222/ (I actually do know the difference, but the fact that I would make such a mistake is evidence enough that I really don't pay very close attention.)http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28749Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:47:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28749Alex, Lawrence, KSWill, believe it. http://www.the-tree.org.uk/SpecialBranch/InTree/goats.htmhttp://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28751Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:53:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28751Ross Clurman, Overland Park, KSSecond Life is everywhere. The last three days at work have been filled with discussion of how many people are spending real money for things that aren't tangible.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28965Tue, 09 Jan 2007 22:05:48 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28965Lisa Williams, Watertown, MAHey, Will -- thanks for linking. We endeavor to become less retro as time goes on :)http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#28967Tue, 09 Jan 2007 22:07:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:28967Paul, Alamo, CA"The Dumbness of Crowds" is really not a good title. He is really going on about the "crowd as mob" (e.g. groupthink) vs. "crowd as individuals" (e.g. commentors on blogs ;-). Although he did not say it, I assume this means that he feels Digg and Netscape are damaged by the crowd as mob model (voting), although that is more complex due to its alignment of perspective aspect. That is, whereas a crowd writing a book or designing a dog would tend to get a hodgepodge of attributes, voting tends to break out groups with strong perspectives overwhelming the bland middle ground. Kind of like our political system, but without the ability to have ads. It would be interesting to understand the "radar" of voting, especially when you can sink (vote down) as well as raise (vote up).http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#29017Wed, 10 Jan 2007 00:16:36 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:29017Neesha, CanadaHey, thanks for the link to the double maze. I spent most of my breaks working on it, and managed to pass all 12 levels over my work day! Once you get a hang of it, it's not so hard.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#29878Thu, 11 Jan 2007 02:33:12 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:29878mike mallet, raleigh, ncI toured a turn of the century (19th) mansion last weekend where one of the framed photos on the wall was of two horsemen and their hounds looking up at a fox in the top of the 30' tree next to them. Didn't know foxes OR goats could climb trees.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/08/28643.aspx#32016Mon, 15 Jan 2007 03:23:56 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:32016Kim, Seattle, WAThank you for mentioning Mohan Seneviratne. He was the brightest star. We are lucky to have worked with him and to have known him.
