Stigmergy

Joe Gregorio: “The World-Wide Web is the first stimeric communication medium for humans.” I wanted to link the word “stimeric” in the quote to a web page containing a good definition of stigmergy. But a google search on “stygmergy” returns a lot of weblog posts that simply point to Joe’s page. Now I see the point Orlowski was making. Alternative searches: stigmergic, “stygmergy brooks” (to see what the robotics community makes of the term), “swarm intelligence”
