I'd love to see this as a slide show in the form that Larry Lessig uses: keynote with voice overlay. Great stuff. This is a great talk Derek, you covered a lot of territory well.

Maybe mix in "editor's choice" as well to keep it from being gamed and keep it real in terms of decent photography.

I'm not quite done listening yet, might have more comments but wanted to get this down as I listen. The problem with "the wisdom of crowds" is that there's a difference between "popular" and "good." I'm not quite sure how to measure "good" or what it is because it's subjective but I'm pretty sure crowds aren't the way. <a href="http://www.richardsnotes.org/archives/2007/08/24/flickr-explore/" rel="nofollow">flickr's explore</a> is an example of what I'm talking about. Great popularity contest that doesn't necessarily pick out good photography. Nice talk Derek, well done.
