First article summary

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/0,39029477,49292669-1,00.htm

This article, written by a British author, obviously suffers from every cliche in the book. The narcissistic myspace user, the geeky slashdot reader, the wikipedian who can't get it right.

Did this article even need to be written? What is this, an introduction to the Internet for those who have been asleep for the past decade? Guess what! There's more to online life than just AOL these days!

But seriously, someone who doesn't do more than check their yahoo mail might get a lot out of the article. It might even get someone to check out some of the earth-shattering work going on at some of the sites. Wikipedia IS a cultural phenom. Myspace has changed relationships for young people and Flickr has some kick-ass pictures. Web 2.0 is here to stay, where you visit DOES say something about you.
