I just found this article in Spark Online. It is about the shifting the
focus from cyberspace to cyberplace, (something that I have been grapeling
with over the past few months). Spark Online is an excellent journal if you
are not familiar with it. It has as sections on ESociety and a gallery,as
well as other stuff.

“One of the main reasons cyberspace was chosen over local place was the
existence of the belief in its vast, seemingly boundless market. But this
market proved to be based mostly on ad click-throughs and banner
advertising. When the click-through model proved a failure much of the
cyberspace Internet became a failure also”.
Thanks for the comments, on the piece I posted. Will
think about it after I polish my gun.
the death of email
...at first it was sexy, then it became banal. At first it promised that you would be noticed, then it promised that you would be ignored. At first email gave you access to exotic places and important people, then it became the least effective way to communicate.
