 * Strong keep - this article could certainly be improved upon, but it is a very real concept in new media/sociology and is referenced/written about extensively outside of Rheingold's book, for example: this paper from the 2003 Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, this paper from the 2004 European Conference on Information Technology Evaluation, this IEEE paper, etc. Also see all the times it's mentioned in Wired (including this: "Is Wikipedia a heartening effort in digital humanitarianism - or a not-so-smart mob unleashing misinformation on the masses?") schi talk  09:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Schi. Seems like a logical and improvable article subject. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
