An Experiment Gone Awry

In "The Wisdom of Crowds (Beta Version)" (December 2005), you refer to The Business Experiment (TBE) as peer-to-peer, or P2P. But P2P doesn't properly describe the collaboration that occurs among the participants of TBE. Peer implies a direct link of communication between two points; TBE sounds more like a democratic message board. You compare TBE to Linux's development, but Linux was controlled by Linus Torvalds. Times and media change, but they can't produce creativity and leadership out of the ether.

Fast Fix

In "Bosses From Hell" (July 2005), we incorrectly stated that Walt Disney cooperated with Joseph McCarthy in the 1960s. McCarthy died in 1957.
