readwriteweb.com — We've written recently on ReadWriteWeb about the decline and fall of quality on Digg, but SitePoint's anecdote demonstrates that sometimes the wisdom of crowds approach is, well, kind of dumb. Now is probably a good time to revisit the rules for harnessing the wisdom of the crowds we published on this blog a year ago.

And my point is that if only a very small handful of people ever see or respond to it, how is that an example of herd mentality? Don't you need at least a "herd" in order to have "herd mentality"?
