In the blog that we read this week, I was confused about a few things. One of the main things that I didn't understand was the difference between collective intelligence and "the Wisdom of Crowds" model. They talked about it at the beginning of the blog but it didn't really make much sense to me.
On page 116, I was surprised to find out how fast and how many people post things on Wikipedia. It is now considered a coordinating resource. I was also suprised to read on page 133 that a lot of people post things to Wikipedia becuase of a personal desire to do a good thing. I always assumed that people posted on it just to because they wanted to and they knew that information. I didn't stop to think that people were putting things on the web to boost their self-essteem and confidence.
