http://www.flylittlebird.org is nothing to do with The Wisdom of Crowds. Please remove the reference! It does not ask a crowd anything, it asks a small and self-select group in one country what they think. They have no incentive structures to guess correctly and no penalty if they do not. It makes no account of speakers tailoring speeches to current events or a particular audience. It does not belong here, it dilutes the article and the meaning of the concept. --Rossjamesparker 09:28, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - this bears little resemblance to Surowiecki's concept; it's just some people doing some research. Rd232 talk 13:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The article reads sometimes more as an essay or a critique of the book. It needs a lot of work to be NPOV. I will work on it a little bit, please join in and make the wisdom of crowds work for this article... ≈ jossi fresco ≈ t • @ 04:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Umm... this is fine and all... but is there any counterpoint floating out there... thoughtful criticism of this "mobs know best method" ?... -anon
