Very interesting read. I often try to educate people telling them that the social network gimmick is just that : a gimmick in a marketing ploy. A network of computers is social by nature of the users being social beings. Using computers in a network was already social when I got in in the 1990's. The social part is not from facebook or whatever the current popular thing is, they try to get hold of it for their own profit and it's sad. I'm looked at weird when I say that so called social networks feature regressions from what was possible then. Reading this article, I learned that even in the 1990's we had made a few steps backward from the previous decades, I mean what happened to the simple feedback channel offered by TERM-comment ? How come this is not a standard feature ?
