You know, what I think is the most beautiful thing about Web 2.0 is that it's like the printing press of our generation. Top-down communication is becoming less and less respected, and more and more little guys are getting a piece of the pie. I wondered what Marx would have thought if he could see this version of individuals selling their "surplus value." :)

That's funny. He'd have to ask whether the surplus value was benefiting "the man" or the "the people".
