The Web is currently experiencing a transition of the structure of information organization. From one side, there is more and more user-generated content. On the other side, many "new" user-generated content is not really new. By contrast, it only remixes the existing content in various new ways. This trend, as in my word, is a transition from the previous publisher-oriented Web to the new viewer-oriented Web. From the rise of Web 2.0, this trend has become unstoppable and I predict that information reorganization would be the key issue of the next-generation Web, or the generally called Web 3.0.
An important research issue from the aspect of social science might be that how we can prompt this transition in a healthy way. In order to ensure the quality of collective intelligence, we need to know all the factors that may affect the quality. Brownian Motion is an interesting natural phenomenon that may help us in this study.
I like the word "produsage" you have coined. I will try to find a copy of your book to read. It has an attractive title. ;-)
glad to watch you opinion
