The Wisdom of Crowds over 2 years ago

It is a fine way of looking at mass communication, essentially meant for marketing. And who is beyond marketing pale now?One has to market oneslef and a whole new idustryhas sprung up around that goal.What is true andgenuine gets lost in the great marketing hype, and who is the most aceptable candidate for a post is also lost in the maze careved out by spin doctors. Being there is everything. a perceptive filmmaker had produced a film on the theme decades back. sorry, only the title is fresh in mymind. For the cynicalones who desire a lowdown on the socalled wisdom of the crowds, George Orwell’s animal farm is a must read. Yet one cannot shrug away this wisdom. The method of garnering it makes all the difference. If the method is sincere, thewisdom gleaned too would reflect the real wisdom of the crowds. frankly, in these stressful times, is it easy to find sincere respondents?There is another method. should one share it for free?
