wisdom of crowds

There is something to be said about the wisdom of crowds. Intuitively I've known this because I've participated in groups and communities for as long as I can remember -now I'm sure of it. The conference was good -hearing Jeff Bezos and Eric Shmidt speak were highlights for me and my geek pick of the month goes to www.spock.com . The weather was gorgeous and in the words of Tim O'Reilly -" It is a time of rapid speciation in the technology landscape"; decisions we make today will influence the next 5-7 years. I know where I've been and some roads I'd rather not travel again.
