The Self-Organized Web

The internet is getting self-organized. While conventional online 
media ventures like CNN.com are choking in the e-business downturn, a 
new crop of web sites is tapping into the collective wisdom of their 
users to serve up the freshest material online. Rather than depend on 
a top-down editorial team, sites like Slashdot, Epinions, The Vines, 
and Plastic.com rely on a growing community of engaged visitors who 
post their own thoughts, reviews, opinions, links to articles, and 
all kinds of current content.
