in What Would Google Do? Jeff Jarvis describes how Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, did at Harvard when faced with the prospect of failing his art course: 'He went to the internet and downloaded images of all the pieces of art he knew would be covered in the exam. He put them on a web page and added blank boxes under each. Then he emailed the address of this page to his classmates, telling them he'd just put up a study guide... The class... filled in the blanks with the essential knowledge about each peice of art, editing each other as they went, collaborating to get it just right... Zuckerberg aced the exam [and] the professor said the class as a whole got better grades than usual. They captured the wisdom of the crowd...'
