"Wikipedia contains facts about facts. It's a collection of facts from other places.
Facebook doesn't have your friends. It has facts about your friends.
Google is at its best when it gives you links to links, not the information itself.
Over and over, the Internet is allowing new levels of abstraction. Information about information might be worth more than the information itself. Which posts should I read? Which elements of the project are at risk? Who is making the biggest difference to the organization?
Right now, there's way too much stuff and far too little information about that stuff. Sounds like an opportunity."
Does all of this constitute a dilution of information? Are we so used to second hand internet materials that raw, unadulterated data would blind our sensitive eyes? Seth brings up a good point... the information about the information is becoming more and more important. Where is this data coming from? Does this source know what their talking about? Do I trust these web surveys when data can be so easily, and anonymously, falsified?
