I was having a browse on the always interesting London-based bigshinything website and rediscovered this video about Web 2.0 - I know it’s been around for a while and the music is just a tad irritating but it’s a nifty little examination of what is happening online.

Bigshinything also have a post which talks about a possible MySpace/Facebook class divide that is very interesting although the whole “hegemonic/subaltern” vocabulary is bringing back my academia-rash! The issue of how divisions and inequalities in the offline world get manifested online is an important one. The research in Danah Boyd’s essay is a little tenuous and incomplete, as she herself admits, but it’s good food for thought.
