Yet another great analysis by Craig Danuloff’s No Time To Think:

The concept of the ‘next big thing’ has been building and taking shape. Its the theory of the ‘Semantic Web’ meets the power of ‘Google’ meets the value of ‘Reputation’. Call it the ‘Global Clique’ (although one will exist for each subject) – everyone knows everyone (either directly or indirectly), someone knows everything and lots of people know where to find it or who to ask, there is no specific or consistent relationship between the participants (they’re loosely coupled), and the thought leaders and the influencers – both in general and on specific subjects – are clear. It just needed a push. Today it got a huge one.
