new media

There's an excellent survey of "new media" in the Economist this week. Like most of the sci/tech in the The Economist they seem to know what they are talking about (at least on topics I know something about, I've rarely spotted any glaring errors, which is unusual for a newspaper). There are some interesting insights (and some perhaps-cool stuff I'd never heard of before), and even quite a bit about LiveJournal - so I had to rush off and post a link.

The Economist isn't one of the top-30 blog-linked sites listed, perhaps because they don't follow their own advice and and provide free access (so I'm afraid you can only read the first four pages online).
