More and more sites are now allowing them this opportunity again without them needing to know how the technology works. Even classicamiga has been doing this since the relaunch with the ability for all members to add reviews and comments to all site content, as well as setup profiles with images and other personal information and opinions.

User generated content is the future.

Firebox have a t-shirt that reads "More people have read this THAN YOUR BLOG".

I love how people think other people will want to read all the minutia about their tiny, insignificant lives.

Very true. The majority of general public have very little to say that is of any real interest to a single other living animal, let alone a human.

And the blogs that are the exception are normally written by writers (i.e magazine editors) or by company directors or owners so they generally have something to say about their subject matter.

But even so, social networking is the big buzz technology at the moment and all the idiots suddenly now getting online thanks to their free broadband deals think it's the greatest thing ever. In reality none of them should even be on the internet slowing our connections down because they are using our contended bandwidth to upload the latest exploits of their baby onto youtube. These people don't have any real interesting in computing and from what they use the internet for, no real interest in the actual internet. What happened to it being a resource? These idiots just use it to communicate with the people they already talk to every day at work or that live down the road.

Exactly! They should just get off the internet so the rest of us can get back to downloading pr0n.
