Interesting thoughts on blogs and (mostly) wikis. Like this: "the blogosphere is a community that might produce a work. Whereas a wikis a work that might produce a community. It’s all just people communicating." The speaker - Ward Cunningham - talks about the importance of trust in building a wiki (interestingly: it's not clear that the wiki could be invented today). There's also some discussion of reputation systems (an idea that seems to be gaining traction - but I wonder whether reputation wouldn't be too easy to spoof).
