In big picture view I think "social searching" makes a lot of sense. Everyone putting in their bit of the picture is like each of us contributing a peice of a zigsaw puzzle. The whole idea of each person being a "neuron" is right. The way I see it there are two sorts of people: the "numbers" people who contribute logic and control and the "ideas" people who contribute courage and compassion. Bring both of those types together on a situtation and you have balance. It's what the world needs right now. If technology can do it for us, I say bring it on.

I think social networking also challenges the definition of who is an 'expert' and therefore a reliable source .... passionate amateurs can contribute just as easily as 'professional' experts.
