I read a fascinating article in The Times this morning about a competition run by DARPA (the US military innovation organisation that has invented everything from the early internet to the M16 Assault Rifle and Stealth bombers) to test the power of social networks.
The test involved a competition to find ten red balloons tethered in locations across the United States. Rather than me whitter on about it here, read the coverage in CNN. Very interesting, shows that the sum of social media’s parts is greater than the whole of Stephen Fry.
