A better way to think about this may be in terms of people with DOMAIN-SPECIFIC experience/talent learning how to apply "new" technologies (e.g. rss, wikis, etc) to solve problems. I agree with the original post in that "hacker"-created app

I agree that "networking" delivers value, but the academia is very worthwhile, too. Marc Andreesson's post analyzing the credit crunch that forced hedge fund Citadel to dissolve is a great example of the value of "business education." Comma
