Hey, it was your metaphor -- don't complain if I just run with it. <g>
I'm not saying that the Coming Singularity will be a good thing, just that
willy nilly it will happen.
And as usual to those who have shall be given, so whatever happens, major

I think both Twitter (and Facebook and blogs) and google are either a dead

mechanism built in, which is why I'd bet on something modeled on the various
Wikis, for some sort of homeostasis to be achieved.
