Have just finished reading the first Reader- and found it (as i mentioned before) more interesting that i orgininally thought i would. Its strange that Web 2.0 platforms such as Facebook which i use everyday and take for granted- has a background of theories, reasearch and issues.
I had never thought about how online systems support collective intelligence until reading about "Gruber's" 3 conponents on how this happens. Most of these conponents i knew happened (and had frequently used them myself) but had not put them in the catagory as benifits to the system (if im making any sense).
It was quite overwhelming to see how the systems have grown so rapily eg Facebook starting out with only 1500 in 2004- and in 2010 having over 400 million members.
On the whole i dont really have anymore thoughts i dont think- I pretty much agreed with everything i read, and didnt disagree too much with anything i read. I did sometimes think that too much thought did go into what i was reading- BUT that is because i have just started out and havent yet developed the love and passion for Web.20- i will eventually.
