Web 2.0 Industry As a Perfect Example of Crowd Thinking

BackType – a New Model of Handling Blog Comments

We have already seen enough competition (I think) between services intended to help blog readers easier authenticate themselves to leave a comment on a blog and have all the comments from blogs supporting this or that service aggregated into one account: Disqus, SezWho, JS-Kit, IntenseDebate all work in the same field with slight variations of approaches.
