I agree with a lot of what you say here. The great majority of what happens on the internet is just noise and advertising. Personally I think the democratisation is not about speaking (or typing) but more about reading and access and the free flow of information.I am imagining a world in which everyone can read or listen to whatever they want instead of being forcefed corporate controlled media, a world in which the whole history of ideas is freely available to anyone with a search button. And once again Happy Bloggoversary!! Happy Bloggoversary! I agree with a lot of what you say here. The great majority of what happens on the internet is just noise and advertising.

The first captcha that flicked up when I opened this box was *dining*.
HAH.

One does, alas, have to be vigilant regarding the quality of all communications these days – and yes, one can participate in plenty of things that are not democratic at all.
As for poor old language – bloody Brumby in teh paper this a.m. about the bashing of Indians in Epping(Vic) on the weekend, is foolishly saying, 'it will affect our BRAND in India.' Que?
