I skimmed some articles and really concentrated on "A Bigger Bang" on the Guardian Unlimited web site out of the UK. Fascinating overview of the changing face of technology. "Technology is stuff that doesn't work yet." The idea is that it is only when people stop thinking of something as a piece of technology that the thing starts to have its biggest impact. Think of the wheel -- at one time that was the latest in technology. Email was once of great practical use -- people under the age of 25 have never known a time that email wasn't broken by spam and they prefer to instant messaging or texting.
MySpace members make up the equivalent of the 10th largest country, just below Mexico. "Scrapbooking" is an analogy used to desribe the makeup of MySpace. YouTube is 98% unimaginably boring, but there is a lot of stuff in the remaining 2%.
Katrinalist.net collated the information on 50,000 survivors -- something no other medium or government agency would have been able to do as effectively.
The bottom line is that this site collects in an authoritative manner many reviewed and award winning articles.
