Yes it does, it almost cost me my job (OK, I tend to the dramatic, or so I'm told, but I am laying low for a while). I think we are talking about the same thing but I am not sure of what I am talking about yet so maybe we should run a class/discussion sometime. Here is the slide series I used for a presentation of an "Open WEB 2.0 community model for business" crowd/cloud/sourcing/herd thingy that I pitched which was taken quite negatively by the people who count, my boss!
PS It (whatever it is that we are talking about)may be the same as what I am trying to do with the Project Management for ESL class series. No one owns the class. Everyone, who wishes to, takes on part of the work of the classes. If this collaborative class takes wings it could be a cool cloud/crowd/herd thingy ;-)
