We're all online, and we are a community, so we've socially networked right?

It was a funny realisation I had today, and that is that we have created an online community here in blogger.com. The KCB201 class has been duped, and in a very clever way. MySpace offers a section for us to post a blog and it never took off, but here in a community where we are forced, or at least guided to embrace the technology, we thrive. Strange. What has made us so adept and quick to sift through the billions of bytes flying around on blogger.com to come together? I think it's because the electronic networking gene has symbiotically attached itself to our DNA, and that has created this phenonmenon. Or perhaps we just like to see what everyone else thinks. Will blogger.com now takeover Facebook etc???... Doubtful, but the possibility is there, and scary all at the same time. How quickly we appropriate a technology for our own means. Ahh the beauty of the online-kingdom. That's all I have, it's just an observation.
