I want to learn what swarm intelligence is. From what I gather, it's the behavior (or whatever intelligence is) that arises from a group of otherwise seperate, "dumb" entities. Emergent behavior is, I think, an accompanying buzzword. Swarm intelligence for Kazaa might be like duds don't get any play and chart toppers get duplicated many, many times, which is true. Swarm intelligence... It must follow a synergetic effect, where the sum of the whole is greater than its parts... Like, all the parts acting as one.
Eh, I know. This swarm intelligence thing came out of P2P networks and the rise of blogging. Something about people and community building... How dost the hive thinketh? The hive. The swarm. The cluster. The scourge. Alliance, brood, horde... All good Warcraft words. By the way, Warcraft is a campaign short of Lordoftheringscraft... And yes, you can play as the High Elves. All ya gotta do is possess a Peasant...
