Interesting to see that David Reed's Law is now in Wikipedia:
   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed's_law>
Its all about beyond Metcalf's value of the network being n^2,  
bringing in the power set of subgroups networks can form, thus  
valuing the network as 2^n.

Stephen has the insight that Reed's Law is quite important and  
explains the web 2.0 explosion and a will be a/the major component of  
a web 3.0 future.

Nice to see its now pretty fully on the radar.
