Since the Web is by its very nature highly fragmented it's easy for us to find people we agree with who happen to have a high reputation. A reputation is only really worth anything when it is the assesment of a broad spectrum of even the smallest community. In addition, you do need to get opposing viewpoints, and do some investigation of your own. I know of two men with high reputations in one community, and low reputations in another. In both cases the contrasting reputations are due to their opinions regarding the same subject. One community agrees with them about the subject, and so rates them highly. The other community disagrees with them about that same subject, and so rates them low. (BTW, it's not George W. Bush and the Iraq occupation.) Really, the way things currently stand you can't rely on reputation alone. The trouble with relying on reputation is that we tend to prefer people we agree with.

The @#$^ tends to get called out or ignored; couple that with the fact that we tend to pay attention to people or sources we trust. In terms of trust, we - as a digital generation with infinite sources of information - are developing new conscious and subconscious means of deciphering trustworthy sources. It might be based on credible people you know pointing to someone you don't know -- or some other type of affiliation. What's in question is whether a universal framework for trust in a digital world will evolve across splintering venues, i.e., the blogosphere versus MySpace versus USENET versus any other network where people interact and exchange information.

He might be shocked to discover that there's another medium where people can cay wherever they want, no matter now bad or wrong: it's called a telephone. If oldschool print types could see the web as more of a conversation and less of a "authoritative publisher," they'd probably be able to get more sleep.
