Weller suggests that decentralization, democratization and bottom-up processes characterize the world of Web 2.0.
I guess that the website ‘delicious’ supports this characterization, as its tagging folksonomy is completely decentralized and in the hands of users.
Wikipedia is slightly different – although much of the content creation is decentralized, the editing process is done by a smaller group of people, with ultimate control being highly centralized in the hands of a small group of people who have not been democratically appointed.
