Social Media Today's Stewart Mader posted a review of Beth Noveck's recent article Wiki-Government. Noveck's article detailed much of the ideology behind Peer-to-Patent, about which Mader agreed:
Experts don’t necessarily know more - they’re perceived to know more. What wikis and blogs have demonstrated is that a lot of people who aren’t recognized as experts have an immense amount of knowledge to offer. It’s true in business, and it’s true in government policy making too.
Mader called Noveck's ideas "the kind of clear, level-headed approach to wiki use that should be taken seriously." He goes on to quote Howard Rheingold:
She’s not just a theorist. Her “peer to patent” project might well succeed in applying collective intelligence to fixing our broken patent system.
