  • Democracy and division of labor

    I agree with the findings in the article. People will divide works, whether within an organization or across organizations and/or individuals. Recently I have been uncomfortable with the notion that people doing different things is no democracy. I think actually the opposite is true. It is democracy because people do what they can and want to. I ...

  • Problem with the Data

    While there are several odd things about this study (why use administrators for the ''elite'' group instead of the users with the most edits, why factor in ''those that might become administrators later,'' etc.) the most important thing to note comes from the methodology section of the paper, most of which I quote here:In the following ...

  • Re: Cyber libertarianism, /., Wikis etc.

    degsme: Since when is slashdot low on flametroll contributors? In the years that I have used /.

As Professor Chi does indeed state, the influence of administrators has declined since 2004. They are not slacking; the ...

  • Finally, A know-it-all, that knows-it-all

  • Misunderstanding Gather and other Social Networking Sites

    The problem with this article - and why Guiliani has failed to get more than 35 connections on Gather is simple - Gather members join and interact, connect, post original content, and comment on only each other's work - and that has to be a real person - not a surrogate. If Guiliani himself was actually posting original content - along the ...
