Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Has social networking reached it's peak?
The change from traditional read-only web pages to read write web pages took the world by storm. Web 2.0 gave rise to blogs and social features that gave a voice to the independent. It also reconnected friends and enabled friendships to be extended and prolonged.
