Another quote and link, but Kathy Sierra's post on the dumbness of crowds, community and Web 2.0 is absolutely vital reading.
It's the sharp edges, gaps, and differences in individual knowledge that make the wisdom of crowds work, yet the trendy (and misinterpreted) vision of Web 2.0 is just the opposite--get us all collaborating and communicating and conversing all together as one big happy collaborating, communicating, conversing thing until our individual differences become superficial.
One of my new year's resolutions is to stop staring at the naval of UK podcasting. However, a recent thread of conversation on the forums provoked by Adam Curry suggesting there was no community in podcasting has got me thinking about his subject.
