As of December 2007 Jack will likely start writing about product management too.

This kind of thinking (and your post) throws into sharp contrast how the IT addiction leads people astray about what knowledge management really comes down to (my opinion): people and not databases, neural networks, and semantic webs.

Your post also made me think about how popular, and perhaps necessary, 'critical massification' seems for information, knowledge and even economic management. I call it 'Wal-Mart-ificiation' and i see it in not only the big-box stores but in big-box evangelical churches, big-box websites (My Space, Technorati), big-box corporations (Boeing, Comcast). Big Box approaches seem to bring together or aggregrate huge numbers of potential connections, social/consumer-producer/knowledge-seeker-creator.

The idea of critical mass comes up in the discussion of many kinds of community: there must be a critical mass of participants before the community moves. But I wonder about the upper limit (towards your concern): if there are too many active participants in the community, everything appears to be noise.

Thanks!
