I'm beginning to see more articles and commentary that the user-generated content era (i.e. Web 2.0) is reaching its pinnacle. A recent Slashdot story captures it pretty well.

For me personally, I'm noticing that I spend much less time sorting wheat from chaff on Digg, Reddit, DZone and the rest, and spending more time reading blogs of industry insiders and experts. This could just be that the experts are filtering the noise for me.
