On Misnomer, Dru Jay discussed yesterday the relationship of my essay on Weblog Communities and the Tragedy of the Commons. I have to apologize to him; I simply forgot about referencing that stuff as a source of some of the root ideas. While my thinking on the topic doesn't stem solely from that reading, they did contribute a lot to the ideas. His comments are dead on, and I've added a link to that day on his site to the end of the essay; it really belongs as part of it. Do read the comments if you haven't already.
