Nophoto-f-25x33 Not wild about his style, but some of his commentary is interesting about how social networks developed online, how knowledge seems unnecessary when posting "facts" online (like on Wikipedia), how formerly private facts are presented almost as entertainment. In particular his comments about Google's search ability to rank & popularize and how that meshes with the tenets in "The Tipping Point" are pertinent. I wouldn't buy it, but if it's at the library, glance through.
