Leveraging the "Wisdom of Crowds" online
The Wisdom of Crowds was discussed by author James Surowiecki when he postulated that the collection of information in groups resulted in decisions that were often better than could have been made by any single member of the group. (Think "ask the audience" option on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?)
This is also demonstrated every day in the corporate structure of most companies, but the Internet allows us all to leverage the Wisdom of Crowds with a couple of mouse clicks.
Whether you need to make a purchasing decision, find a quiet hotel with clean rooms or have a major business problem to solve, you can gather the Wisdom of Crowds if you know where to look!
Listen in as we discuss all the great ways you can use the Internet to research virtually any question or problem that life places at your feet!
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on

or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the
