Internet Evolution’s “Wisdom of Clouds”
Stephen Saunders is linkbaiting. He has debuted a pretty ho-hum interface called “Wisdom of Clouds”, riffing on the Surowiecki book, The Wisdom Of Crowds. But then, he just goes stupid:
[from Internet Evolution unveils “Wisdom of the Clouds” interface | 901am]
We’re calling our new interface ‘The Wisdom of Clouds’ as an ironic homage to James Surowiecki’s ‘The Wisdom of Crowds,’ which we happen to think is complete nonsense. And we’re referring to it as a ‘Web 3.0′ interface because we know it will really annoy all the alleged experts who talk pretentious twaddle about the Internet and its various iterations.
Man. I am glad I stopped writing there. I buy into the ‘twaddle’ about the wisdom of crowds, and I am an alleged expert, too. I am not angry about the Web 3.0 meme, because much better efforts have been mounted to make sense of that term.
The interface is pretty lame. Why not use a memetracker? That could be cool.
