[...] Mike Troiano created an interesting post today on We Are All Carbon-Based Super ServersHere’s a short outlineWe Are All Carbon-Based Super Servers When you talk about combining men and machines, you usually think “Borg.” In the Borg model, technology is added to man, resulting in a human that is more like a machine. We’re about to cross over into more of a “Tron” age, though, kind of the opposite of Borg.

Excellent observations. Corporations have been trying to harness knowledge for decades. IBM wanted to collect what we knew in a "knowledge database". It was obvious they were hoping to use it to replace employees. What they never seemed to figure out is static knowledge that those with experience can apply can not easily be converted to solutions for those without that experience.

IMHO, you can NOT replace the most intelligent human brains with computers no matter how advanced or powerful they become because humans can make value judgments and observations that computers can not.

All machines can do is what they are programmed to do. Who believes we can actually predict in advance every connection a human brain can make?

Great concept. I imagine that this human computing network can process both forward and backward like no machine ever. One can be a node of sorts, even if one's carbon is, uh… rather old:

"The website also includes weather for the month, currently March 1665. In the latest entry Pepys writes of enjoying a 'turne with my wife pleasantly in the garden by moonshine.'"

Am I missing some thing or is there no real social bookmarking tool in Facebook? And if not, why not?

A valuable capability indeed.
But one which is already being gamed by paid for buzz marketing.

Social marketing, as you rightly stress, is the recommendation engine of the future. Unfortunately this carbon creation runs the risk of falling back into the dark ages of communication control at all costs, unless one solves the issue of how to recognize (in both senses of the word) valuable independent recommenders.

There are ways but the challenge must be acknowledged before cynicism sets in.
