Introduction: 

Introduction A humorous anecdote '… the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It is not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled, and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to get delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of materials, enormous amounts of materials.' U.S. Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), 2006 Senate President Pro Tempore and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation

The Participatory Web: 

The Participatory Web 'It’s about the more human aspects of interactivity; it’s about conversations, personalization, individualism; it’s about a social phenomenon characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and reuse, and the market as conversation.' Stephen Abram, President-Elect, Special Libraries Association Two Schools of Thought: BAD STUFF - It’s like the Tower of Babel and only adds to an already overabundant amount of irrelevant, meaningless information on the web. GOOD STUFF - It brings new, decentralized, intelligent voices and a catalyst for building like-minded communities of interest that are bringing about positive cultural and political change.
