Interesting article about online communities

[Archimedes]

Hi all, found an article in my local newspaper that I thought you might find worthy of 10 minutes of your time.

It's at: http://www.theage.com.au/news/livewire/ ... 97212.html

It's pretty Australia-centric (as you'd expect from an Australian news source) but I think the same principles apply worldwide.

Edit: Punctuation fix.

I like that. It's nice to see something in the media being positive about the internet for a change.

YES! An article that accurately represents online communities for once!

Ooh, that's going to my mum. And my counselor.

Well, to be fair, the more negative articles aren't entirely false. There are dangers in using the internet.

But I agree that it is nice to see a positive article. I hope that there will be more of these kinds of articles in the future.

I agree, i get really tired of old farts saying the internet is something from the devil, when old people say that now, i just laugh, ( okay im using slang , so shoot me ).

It is very Australia-Centric, which makes me depressed, as it always does.
