http://www.stigmergicsystems.com/ Stigmergic Systems - smells related to WikiWeb and BlogWeb. The term stigmergy derives from the way colonies of insects Self Organize, to tell each other where to find food and to build complex architectural structures... The basis of a stigmergic system is a location on the Web where people can represent themselves as agents... There are several important areas of information where algorithms, search engines and database technology have difficulties with indexing and classification. These are where there is: ambiguity; high volatility; subjective content; high rates of technological change; classification of people; classification of services; etc. In these problematic information areas, there is a need for multiple levels of categorization and a means of being able to compare conflicting or alternative information. This use of stigmergy provides an elegant and low cost solution by providing a self organizing framework to allow people to be represented by agents for the purpose of exchanging and comparing information and knowledge.
