crowds

My friend and occasional sparring partner Scott Karp over at Publishing 2.0 has a good post today about the transitory nature of the Digg "flash crowd" phenomenon - the point being, as he puts it, that "not all traffic is created equal."

James Surowiecki, who wrote The Wisdom of Crowds, talked about the concepts in his book.

Today is the official launch day for the highly anticipated Sony Playstation Portable gaming system, and it has been ushered in with crowds lining up outside of stores to get their hands on it.
