<The problem is that as more people visit a site and "deposit" information, the higher the "noise to signal" ratio, or the more "junk to quality" ratio, and hence the more time consuming the search for quality is. > Agreed. Another example is one of my hobbies: genealogy. CMGI recently invested in a family history site because it is "viral." Fine, but if the info is not accurate, it is worse than useless to a genealogist. It is "harmful."
