Mob vs Individuality of the web

"Poking a Stick Into The 'Hive Mind': To Lanier, the 'wisdom of crowds' delivers a reflection of the lowest common denominator."

Talks of the mob mentality people can get into with the web [specifically wikipedia] unlike the individually which should have flourished. Like the 60's movement vs Mao's Cultural Revolution.

Personally, I don't see how 60's is no more mob effect since those who were "rebellious" were identifiable by their clothing [t-shirt & jeans], hair [long], music [rocknroll] and behavior [smoking pot], etc.

Oh well...
