I found the first reading to be quite interesting. It was nice to see sites like friendster and thefacebook put to some practical use. I just wonder how many respectable "old school" business men are willing to do something like this. It would be quite interesting to find out the ratios. The 2nd reading was kind of disturbing. It seemed to almost promote an internet revolution and claimed to be raising voices otherwise unheard. To a point that is correct but the internet has natrual biases that tend to get overlooked. For one only more well off people have access too the internet and have the knowledge to use it to their advantage. That eliminates a whole sector of voices right off. I think the internet is a good tool for democracy but I think praising it as the next super power may be a bit premature.
