NMA.co.uk brought to my attention that the new ruling about children’s social networking sites will be out today: MySpace, Bebo and others are awaiting the result of a ruling on children’s access to social networks from the US government. The implementation of the Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) could result in children being barred from…
If peer2peer marketing/advertising spells disaster for traditional media, and doctors are shirty about peer2peer health support, what do you think the banks will do with peer2peer banking???!!??

Thanks to Erietta for bringing Netscape/digg war to my attention: I’ve been waiting for someone to try this. Bribes are rife in the online RP gaming world but straight down-the-line online communities?
