Blogs Are Not the Only Fruit

Posted by TimSlavin at January 17, 2005

"What is really going on is a major shift in the way that we are able to communicate, collaborate and share things with each other using online technologies. The key to this is not the technology itself - there is remarkably little that we can do now that wasn't possible 5 years ago - but rather the critical mass of connectivity between people that we are finally reaching, as the Pew survey makes clear. The real story is about about ease of use, availability, culture change and most importantly network effects, as Jon Udell rightly emphasises."

Brilliant (and I don't use that word lightly) essay from Headshift that collects information from many sources and stitches them together into an insightful essay about weblogs, wikis, and their social impact on individuals and communities (online and offline). Includes lots of links to research, reports, more information, and comments. Great stuff.
