Newmark and Wales Keynote
Posted by Brett Tackaberry on March 13th, 2006
Day three’s keynote featured Craig Newman of Craig’s List being interviewed by Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia. While it was a little dry at times, Craig and Jimmy did share their shared philosophy on the old “wisdom of crowds” cliché and how that idiom applies to each of their community-managed sites. Craig in particular talked about how he feels that nearly everybody is good and trustworthy and as the tech-phobic late adopters join online communities, the “bad apples” will be (just about) eliminated from the equation.
