From: Step Up Revolution: Everyone has a voice, and there comes a time when you have to shout, to fight, for what you want. (narcism, attention seeking possible, business competition?)
From the book:
Email is
more odered and focused activity.
Controls the list of who can contributes and censor specific message
that they do not want to contribute. This asynchronous media doesn’t need
everyone gather at the same time as the interaction is structured into turns
but reply can take few seconds to a long time.
Bulletin
board system (BBSs refined asynchronous communication, messages strung together
one after another. Differ from Email, BBS requires user to select group and
messages if they wanted to read and actively request them. Millions of messages
from different people commenting and messaging would be carried over the social
network. No central authority, single source or power that can enforce
boundaries and police behavior. Most newsgroup are anarchic no central
authority but have order and structure. Almost anyone can contribute, read the
contents, creating a new group or just being sole contributer to one.
Text chats
uses centralized server granting the server owner a great deal of power over
access to the system and to individual channels. Controls who enters the chat
and how many people can enter. Chat system support a great number of “channels”
dedicated to a vast array of subject and interest.
Online
interaction strips away race, gender, status and age. Online interaction, an
individual’s beliefts and attitudes are used to make inferences about the
individual’s race, rather than familiar route of inferring attitudes based on
physical racial cues.
Images,
sound, audio, and two-or three dimensional model spaces. Real-time video and
audio interaction tool. Engagement in real-time audio conversation. Traditional
status hierarchies and inequalities are reproduced in online interaction and
perhaps even magnified.
