Talk:Collaborative intelligence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've been looking into the Wikipedia article for "Collective Intelligence" [[1]] and am not sure I see the difference between collective intelligence and collaborative intelligence. This article seems to imply that collaborative intelligence is specific to web/online activity. However, several sources I've been investigating refer to online intelligence as collective intelligence as well, and actually cite Wikipedia and Google as the best examples of this (see "Tapping into the Wisdom of Crowds" by Richard Naish, [2], "Mass Intelligence" by James Surwiecki [3], and "Collective Intelligence" by Michael Catelluccio [4]). Also, "Wikinomics" a book by Don Tapscott also refers to Wikipedia, Open Source communities, etc. as collective intelligence created through mass collaboration. I'm thinking that perhaps this article should maybe be incorporated into the "Collective Intelligence" article and use it as a way to emphasize more online examples of CI since that article is lacking in this area as it stands now.--IntelligenceGirl (talk) 19:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
