Jon Udell's "The New Freshman Comp"

Although it is a year old, I just came back to this short article from O'Reilly Network by Jon Udell. This quote connects to our use of environment, I think: "A social application [such as wikis/Wikipedia] works within an environment that it simultaneously helps to create. If you understand that environment, the application makes sense. Otherwise it can seem weird and pointless."
