About this Newsweek cover story — can we all share a moment of frustration? Newsweek really doesn't get the new web. The mag loses major points for:
¬ Saying "wisdom of the crowds" with a straight face
¬ Wikipedia will "take on Britannica" — Do you actually know anyone who looks things up in their stack of leatherbounds?
¬ Perpetuating the myth that MySpace's Tom is everyone's friend
¬ Perpetuating the myth that Dane Cook is funny
¬ Showing a dozen people with great ideas, inspiring thousands with stupid ideas
