Another traffic report from the intersection of Art & Commerce. Required Reading! Don't be scared, subscribers, it's not too technical...and there's a cute slide of a chimp in there too.

Helen Winslow Black replied:

well, here's a test drive for you. Although I am posting this as a reply to my OWN scribble that refers to Sean Parker's doc.....if you go look at the actual doc right now, you will see this whole thread replicated there. That didn't happen before; before, the only things that would have appeared as comments under his doc--would have been actual comments to the actual doc. Does this make sense?

Helen, I wasn't aware comments now turned up in a number of places. Where else should I look. I'm fine with what I say turning up wherever people might want to read it.

Helen Winslow Black replied:

one thing I have noticed, Jed, is this new function where your comments and replies connected to a particular doc show up in more than one place now, if you know what I mean, like all the relevant places--kind of all tied together. This is helpful but it also makes your every little thought more VISIBLE!! :)

Helen, thanks for the encouragement to read. If the article is right, Scribd would do well to make it easier for us to network here. And for our followers to be more active in sharing their thoughts, comments, and evaluations.

Sean, agree with all the sentiment. Couple of points though. I didn't see a slide on Reed's law (the 2n formula which explains the exponential value growth in large networks - particularly ones with humans involved). Also, you can make the case for google being a people-powered connector all of its own - getting connections beyond the silo is what really counts (when one extra node on the network doubles its value) so search is still very very important in that regard.
