CYBERLIBERTARIAN MYTHS

Here Winner takes the sword to the techno-optimists including Gilder, Toffler, and Negroponte. Whilst he accuses them of being far right wing, he appears to be coming from a "where's this monster taking us?" ground.
Heavy read but may be worth reviewing when it comes to the benefits that may be achieved from businesses blogging their hearts out. Will it really make a difference?

NYU Press Electronic Title: NET.WARS by Wendy Grossman; ch16; pg01
After reading this it's easy to wonder what part of the net can, or is worthwhile regulating. Even the two areas that are generally agreed to - child porn and junk email - have their problems when it comes to regulation.

AlterNet: The Trouble With Twitter
AlterNet: The Trouble With Twitter
The trouble with Twitter is that the faster a population centre grows (think urban) the pace of life grows exponentially faster. If the population grows at n then the speed of life grows at n2 until a singularity occurs where the system is reset.

Clive Thompson on How Twitter Creates a Social Sixth Sense
Despite that some believe micro-blogging to be simply bad, Twitter is, according to this article, creating a 6th sense. It's argued that because of the extra granularity we are exposed to about the lives of those around us, we become more attuned to what's happening. A 6th sense in other words.
This certainly isn't my experience at this stage, but we'll wait and see.

People intuitively understand "Systems as diverse as genetic networks or the World Wide Web are best described as networks with complex topology. A common property of many large networks is that the vertex connectivities follow a scale-free power-law distribution. This feature was found to be a consequence of two generic mechanisms: (i) networks expand continuously by the addition of new vertices, and (ii) new vertices attach preferentially to sites that are already well connected." Emergence of scaling in random networks
