Social Media:
When we drop the “user generated” from user generated content.
Every blog has a person behind it. Once you know that person, it changes your perception of it.
60% of teens with internet access are creating content.
Blogging: everywhere you go, you’re on the record.

Dogster, Myspace for dogs. Everybody has their own tipping point.
Labels: Don’t get caught up on labels. It is what you want it to be.
