In my understanding of english, when people say algorithm about social media systems, it doesn’t encompass very simple, transparent ones. It would be like calling a rock a spirit.
Hmm. I think the core thing is transparency. So if it cultivates human network intelligence, but that intelligence is opaque to the user, algorithm. Algorithms can have both machine and egregoric components.

Maybe we should call those recommenders?
Interesting! Would the original EdgeRank be an algorithm, or is it too simple?
