Find it here.  One of my favorite moments of the London trip was when Alex, in a luncheon full of highly intelligent British people, referred to "the wisdom of crowds."  There was a brief moment of silence.  Then one such Brit cleared his throat and corrected him to the notion of "wisdom *for* crowds"…

I’m excited too. No full-text RSS, though. Why doesn’t he just etch his posts onto a stone tablet?

What the hell is “wisdom for crowds?” Were they just making something up? It gets a google count of zero.

Is this a statement about how English people fall back on top-down administrative prejudices when they’re confronted with something they’ve never heard of?

I also don’t get the “”wisdom for crowds” bit.

I stand corrected, it now gets a Google count of one, namely this blog post.

“Wisdom for crowds” means Whitehall knows best.
