The Wisdom of Crowds

Loads of interesting Podcasts (that's just the new name for MP3, incase you were wondering) from the SxSW festival.

In particular the one by James Surowiecki following his most excellent book 'The Wisdom of Crowds'. 3 things to make a crowd wise:
* Mechanism to collect their knowledge
* Intellectual Diversity
* Intellectual Independence

Anyway, take a listen. It's the lazy man's way to read the book. And some of the questions at the end are kinda interesting.
