This is an interesting read about the inequality of weblogs.
Diversity plus freedom of choice creates inequality, and the greater the diversity, the more extreme the inequality.
It creates the idealist conundrum of having a free society with total equality or having a socialistic society with an authoritarian and a largely unaccountable hand.
"The economist Vilfredo Pareto observed that wealth follows a "predictable imbalance", with 20% of the population holding 80% of the wealth."
I find it amazing that brute statistics and math can make sense out of chaotic social patterns, but it should give some idealists big headaches....
