Can I just point out the irony that Dave Sifry's blogs are currently ranked at numbers 1 & 2 on 'Interesting Newcomers' and 4 & 5 on 'Interesting Recent Blogs'... no wonder he likes these new metrics.
One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that in general power law relationships are subject to rapid flux. The field is sometimes known as 'catastrophe theory' for this reason - that upheavals follow a power law too.
More is made of this aspect in 'Ubiquity' than in 'Emergence', but they are two halves of the same phenomenon as far as I can see.
