Found an interesting article in the Sunday Papers? Mon then and share it....

I'll start, as is customary for someone making the first post in a thread.

The web is dead; long live the web

http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article1673425.ece

There are more than 70m blogs in the world, and hundreds of millions of users of MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and the rest, and since all of these numbers are growing rapidly, we are creating a world in which everybody can talk — or, more commonly, shout — about themselves to everybody else. This is already chang- ing politics, the record industry, printmedia, advertising and will, in time, change, perhaps to the point of destruction, almost everything else.


I like this bit...

Psychologists have long been aware that the more people are distanced from each other, the easier they find it to do them harm. This degrades bloggery.

Interestingly the Sunday Independent today has a scary headline about wi-fi internet dangers, and manages to cover the front page, and 3 further pages about their inherent health risks, without being able to provide one fact to back it up....

journalism at its best...

That's why I like the articles and reviews rather than the newsie bits.

News is mostly bollox mascarading as fact, articles are mostly bollox but have no such pretentions of non-fiction. They are just one person's rants and I'm happy with that.
