I agree with the article that Web 2.0 is enabling users to make a lot more crap, and that it's somewhat equivalent to monkeys with type-writers. I have to look no further than my own home for evidence of this. One look at what my sister is busy with on the Internet is enough. People submit a lot of pictures to sites like Netlog, which users make silly comments on, sometimes going even as far as showing underwear.

I disagree about Wikipedia. It's a great resource of information with decent moderation. One thing it's not good at is touchy subjects, though ("zomg Aerith nut Aeris!"). Oh, the drama...

Weblogs are a mixed bag. Yes, there are good weblogs, but these days almost every one has a web log where they post the most inane stuff that has no relevance whatsoever, just because they think it's cool to have a weblog where you post things.

Crappy content isn't really new, though. But it was more controlled, like, on select websites. Years back, it was GeoCities, Tripod, and Angelfire, mainly.
