[videoblogging] MySpace replacing television

[Randolfe Wicker]

This item from "Reason Express" should be of interest to those on this list:   " MyWastedSpace.com A Texas college has put the squeeze on MySpace.com, but not out of content worries. It is sheer bandwidth-gobbling that has Del Mar College telling students to surf the profile/dating/whatever site on their own Net connections. Campus IT staff determined that 40 percent of all internet traffic at the community college involved MySpace. Del Mar's experience reveals some truths about the digital age. One, MySpace is tremendously popular. Two, Del Mar students must have a lot of free time. One student confirmed that the school's library computers are often tied up with MySpace cruisers. The biggest question: Is Del Mar a good proxy for the entire American college-age population? If so, the simmering question of "where did all the TV watchers go?" has been answered. They're all trolling MySpace. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20060423/D8H5PBIO0.html " Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, Activist Advisor: The Immortality Institute http://www.blip.tv/posts/?user=Randolfe%20Wicker Hoboken, NJ http://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/ 201-656-3280     YAHOO!
