You think you have a story, then the crowd speaks – a multi-dimensional snapshot of reality

Check out Joe Havely’s story (from Beijing) about Wu and Wang – The price of protest -  on the Aljazeera news web site.  What do you think?

Then read the comments from the readers. It’s worth reading to the very end.

You may think the same as the first time, as I did, but most likely with some slight but important differences, with a more complex dimension.

What does this imply for our intranets?

What does it mean to publish news without letting people respond – as is the case with most corporate intranets?

And what happens when a lot of people give their opinions? And, even more important, what happens when they don’t all agree, and together, form a multi-dimensional snapshot of reality?
