Two different NYT stories caused me to start thinking about crowdsourcing: World War II Mystery Solved in a Few Hours and Identifying Looters and Lovers in Vancouver’s Riot. In both instances, photos were posted online to help identify people who held themselves out in a public manner and whose actions were memorialized by photos. In a matter of hours, people began identifying those caught in the act. So it makes me wonder: perhaps George Orwell had it wrong. There’s no one Big Brother. There are Big Brothers and Sisters. B2S, if you will. Don’t know if I like that so much. Its bad enough being a Catholic and being guilted by the possibility of Big Eye in the Sky. It’s like I’ve said before—privacy is heading out the door … Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be. George Orwell
