 Interesting paper. I hadn't considered groupthink effects within social networks, but I suspect you and the study you cite are correct that it is problematic. I have no specific suggestions on the current content of your essay except to note it might be helpful if you talked briefly about the ways to fix the problem you identified (e.g. those discussed in the final link, or others you know of). You do a good job of identifying a problem and convincing the reader it is a problem worth addressing, so it would be helpful if you lent that same descriptive skill to suggesting how to solve the problem we readers are now attending to. A few sentences would accomplish that, one of which could incorporate the link you are citing now. Just a thought. Nice work, it reads well.

Scott, I really enjoyed reading your paper. The existence of groupthink within the context of social networking sites is a really interesting concept, and I think that you raise an important issue of the value of two potentially competing types of good: access to information, and high-quality, innovative programming. One question that your paper raised for me is how (and if) Servo is different than social network sites as relates to groupthink; in other words, does the fact that Servo is used by a professional community immunize it from groupthink, or does the value of information is provides mean that groupthink simply isn’t that important?
