Don’t forget to tag more people at the end of your post to continue the process.

Though I don’t agree with point 9.

We have seen how internet communication have evolved from the enduring internet relay chat (mIRC) to ICQ to Messengers and now to some extent the social networking.

But during the whole process, we have seen the more and more people have entered the scene and overall time on the internet has exponentially increased compared to like 5-6 years back. Even though social networking is supposedly a more ‘trusted’ concept than mIRC and encourages meeting people but still the concept of being somebody you are not is too cool to resist.

I guess considering internet communication as a simple launching pad to make ‘real’ friends is an outdated concept. People chat/blog/network with new people for the sake of it.

I will say that you pose an interesting question with the idea of Interaction Metrics. I *hope* that by the end of 2007 there is a measurement that goes beyond pageviews…we shall see…
