Social network services allow people to come together online around shared interests, hobbies, or causes. For example, some sites provide dating services where users post personal profiles, locations, ages, gender, etc, and are able to search for a partner. Other services enable business networking and social event meetups.

While wikis are a good example of "collaboration" ('collective creation' if I may), tagging pertains to "categorization." Obviously, they both entail aspects of 'collective wisdom.' As I see it, wikis, tagging, etc. are only the tip of the iceberg. The real challenge is to be able to collaborate in the creation of rich (multimedia) content.
