S.C Herring Discourse in Web 2.0
I think the article reminded us of the fact that the new media is really not that old at all. What seems to us as new and modern, e.g. Wikipedia, is actually just a technological and somewhat modified version of the good old encyclopedia. Another example is Twitter which is basically a modern form of older practice.
Text remains the main channel of communication, just like it was when books, magazines and letters were the essential tool for staying in touch and following the things that happened around us.
What was also interesting was the different kind of way to behave between male and female users. Studies show that men act more assertively, profanely, sarcastically and in an insulting way than women. Female users in turn tend to be more supportive, affectionate and up-beat than men.
