The problem is that most of them are unaware of it, as are most commentators. Regardless of how you define human needs, people seek to meet them. Most of the internet doesn't do much to meet those needs. But it can do a lot more. And many human needs involve connecting with others. But can the internet help us TRULY connect? Not just yet. But it's getting closer, and social sites are the leading wave. Actually, Social Media sites are the beginning of a paradigm shift.

For the wisdom of crowds to work all participants must be unaware of what others have said about an article and of how well voted the article is. What we have is the "follow the leader" syndrome where once something gains traction is takes off as others jump on board. It is already begining to show that the friends feature on Digg is very powerful in getting your submissions on the the home page. Even among top diggers the one with more friends will typicaly get their story to the home page first.
