Wikinomics left me very disappointed. The authors maintained this breathless enthusiasm for the brave new future the wired elite among us are about to lead us into. I wholly agree with the general thesis that new methods of collaboration and open source goods and property will become a dominant force in the marketplace and there were some interesting examples described however in the end I found the ideas repetitive and mildly annoying.

If however you want to see how large corporations can use open source software in ways that benefit everyone, read the first few chapters. I got a bit bored toward the end. ( )

Interesting if tediously upbeat and attempting-to-be-hip-by-coining-awful-words look at the mass collaboration, mostly via the Net. ( )

Full of useless, meaningless symbolic language like "harness the harvest". Time after time, the reader is told that "smart companies will be able to tap into" this and that opportunity. So if you don't succeed, apparently you're not a smart company. It's the emperor's new clothes all over. These authors are naked. ( )
