Clive Thompson (author of the recent NYTimes Magazine article, “Open-Source Spying“) is writing an article for Wired about “radical transparency”, the idea that releasing more information about your efforts to achieve a goal will improve the quality of the result. Think abstract model of things like crowdsourcing, folksonomies, (successful) wikis, etc. But the upshot is, he’s soliciting input on the article as he is writing it (it’s about transparency, dur). His three premises are:

• secrecy is dead (hiding things is hard these days)
• tap the hivemind (big groups can do more than small groups)
• reputation is everything (Google == reputation assessment service)

So if you have an opinion / thought / input of any kind, you can leave him a comment.
