Page views are a pretty bad metric about quality of conversation. I remember the XKCD comic about "someone is wrong on the Internet"[1] and I wonder if the energy should be put there, at all.

I like your process and it is an excellent one because at the end you get - an artefact - credibility (even if you always have people telling you something) - and even a community I like this idea of data analyst and journalist. I was planning to read and port to Pharo the collective intelligence book but I got distracted by my kids and I wrote some chapters for my new books. If you are interested by the collective intelligence book let me know (it took me some time to find it on torrent) I bought it but it still did not arrive to my place May be I should also be a cyberhypster :) but I like to shave from time to time :) Stef
