This New York Times article abut the sociology of on-line networks and
communities is very hot in the blogosphere and on Twitter ... people
are finally recognizing that it is not just the technology that
matters.

Interesting new term... "ambient awareness", but still too much bowing
to popular memes... IMHO.
