When I first read the 12 key ideas in “From Cave Painting to Wonkette”, I really thought that the author believed that blogging was the next generation in communication on the web. He definitely had some wise ideas and thoughts to back him up, but it seems that now blogging isn’t really the largest thing on the web. In my opinion social networks like MySpace and facebook have completely overrun the internet and have many followers. You never really hear much about blogs now, like a few years ago when people would write in their livejournals and tell everyone to go read them. Now it’s more along the lines of meeting people on MySpace and facebook and talking about who sent who a certain comment or who’s dating who on MySpace. A lot of movie and bands also use these networks because since there is such a large population using them, they can get a lot more of a fan base and make more money on their albums or films. It’s also a nice way for people to keep in touch with each other and be able to contact them faster since more people look at their facebook or MySpace a lot more.

Well done--this meets the requirements of the assignment.
I wonder if maybe people talk more about social networking socially, and blogs are pervasive but less of a conversation piece.
