The #geekproblem isn't just a negative label. It's about taking the obvious problem out of “geek” and looking at what happens when geek culture meets power and capital.
Look at #failbook and Google: geek projects that became systems of domination and control. But that's not inevitable.
So what does healthy #openweb geek culture look like? Look back at early #Couchsurfing and #Indymedia. There are examples of geek culture building trust, participation and community rather than control.
And look at both projects later in their decline - you can see the #geekproblem emerging.
The question isn't “are geeks the problem?” It's - what kind of culture does our technology reproduce, and who does it give power to?
