RSSMedia's NMT Blog

Last Thursday The Guardian had a useful article on social networking. Anyone who's spent much time online will know that forums, blogs and personal websites make up a large proportion of the internet's content. (As one student said to me: 'If you're not on myspace you're no one.') No longer is your social contact limited to those who live in the same street (okay, the same town or city); the internet has allowed communities to be constructed around interests rather than geography. Given the passive nature of TV watching its surprising that it's still seen as more acceptable than online gaming an chatting online. The navel-gazing encouraged by the possibilities of personal web publishing is difficult to ignore, however.
