Social networks and "wide area team building"

This website belongs to George Hotz and is often used as an example of how social networks trump expertise. In this case, Hotz, who is a hacker, won third place in a DARPA contest to find 10 big red balloons - first place went to MIT. Think of this when we discuss wikipedia. This probably explains why many 'experts' don't like wikipedia.
