Campaign magazine - so out of touch
I am giggling quietly to myself as I read 6 June Campaign….article by Gareth Jones
"Facebook, the online social network, created for students…."
Says it all. Gavin….. it’s not for students (alone).
Actually, seriously, I think UK Facebook has reached a tipping point….. When I first joined I was the first person to register my school and the first for "Cambridge University". Which kinda disproves the ‘created for students’ myth….. or maybe they just didn’t bother promoting it in the UK on campus?
Anyway, the membership is at that rapid multiplier stage in the UK (but isn’t yet there in Australia and NZ as far as I can see from my friends there…..!)

You are soooooo right Rebecca. To add to this I read the other day on a very well regarded HR website that Web 2.0 was just another fad!

Scott - thanks for the comment! I kinda wonder whether it is worth posting things like this… and then your comment just really adds to the message!
When trying to publicise my Web 2.0 research, we called round the industry magazines. At Campaign we spoke to two differet journalists - they were rude, ignorant and one said that their readers were not interested in this type of story. Nuff said!
