In fact, they did (look at its date, it's a 22th january 2004
article). Some of us are inside, trying to get in touch with
fellows, but also asking how are those new tools changing (or at
least providing new) ways to get social the web further than
traditional virtual communties:

Maybe it's time to apply network analysis to social networking on
the web (and probably some people is doing it now!). Do you know
any current project or publication relating those 'new' social
projects?
Cheers,
