Web 2.0 and Its Discontents

I need to read this. I think I can safely say that so far the Internet seems to have delivered little of some of its early promise (or, at least particular items I really cared about: whatever happened to the virtual office that was just around the corner?) while certainly carrying some of the costs Mr. Keen describes.

And let's face it: the idea of the "wisdom of crowds" probably is just non-sense. In terms of the empowerment of everyman in every realm, I can say from my own narrow little standpoint of (professional) expertise that I cringe at 99% of the economic "analysis" offered up at, say, blogs.
