Empowered Users, Powered by Users
Acquisitions like this signal the increasing inertia towards consolidation in the "Web 2.0 space" -- for lack of a better term. Upcoming.org is an example of the trend toward participatory software. Back in the day, when software was king, we talked a lot about "empowering users". Now, successful companies don't just empower users, they are powered by users.
