I‘d like to take the chance to elaborate on my vision of social software and the web in the next 15 minutes. Only a month ago we held the 3rd edition of BlogTalk http://blogtalk.net - one of the first international academio-pragamtic conferences on the emergnig issue of social software. So I think we are at the beginning of a new global and networked aera that will blur the boundaries of the real and the virtual. I don‘t think that we are at the beginning of a more democratic aera though.
