Great Overview of the New Scene on the Net

I do have a space on MySpace, mainly because someone told me months ago that if I wanted to get seriously into marketing online I needed to have a space there, so I set one up, but haven’t looked at it for ages, until today (just to check what was there so I didn’t embarrass myself unduly!).

So while I know roughly what MySpace is and does, I’ve frankly been mystified by the buzz, although not unimpressed that Rupert saw fit to throw vast amounts of money at it.

John Lanchester’s article in The Guardian Weekend, A Bigger Bang has helped me get a better idea of what’s happening, not just with MySpace but with the re-structuring of the online world and some of the commercial implications.

It’s a great overview and I would recommend it to anyone over 25 who is just not sure what’s happening out there in netland.
