I share your concern that social media puts to much emphasis on crowds and could limit the choice the Internet was architected to offer. Take the dilemma of participation inequality. As a rule, participation in the online world more or less follows a 90-9-1 rule, with 1 percent of users accounting for most of the contributions, 9 percent contributing from time to time and a whopping 90 percent of users preferring to lurk in the background rather than make a contribution. Read between the lines and this means a vocal minority of hyperactive contributors can easily dominate the system, yielding results and recommendations that are hardly representative of Web users on the whole. There's no much we can do about it, but we should be aware of it. You should also check out a paper from a Wharton professor on my blog later tonight. Hope to see you online again soon! Perry,

I blogged about it (link below) - the normalizing effect of "following th crowd" is the effect of opinion aggregation, more than it is is the use of social media. The challenge is alignment with like minds versus alignment via "popularity" modeling. http://evansink.com/2007/08/19/the-wisdumb-of-crowds/ Great site, by the way, just came across it awhile ago.
