Distributed research offers out projects over the internet – Information is freely available and researchers take little pieces of a problem and work on them. Many people work on many parts of a problem, sharing their results until a solution emerges. “Distributed journalism works similarly. Different lines of inquiry will occur to different people, who bring different kinds of knowledge to bear on the same topic. The ability to concatenate that information online – particularly via those motley commentary sites and open diaries called blogs – makes the information discovered by each available to all.”
