For example, we have witnessed a proliferation of social networking services (SNSs), such as MySpace, Facebook, and 'Twitter, blogs now permeate the Internet, comprising what many refer to as the blogosphere; YouTube is viewed daily by millions of people around the world, many of whom are also eager to upload onto it their personal videos for everyone to see, and Wikipedia has become the default encyclopedia for a generation of students. We have also seen tremendous growth in the number of people who interact in virtual worlds, such as Second Life, and who participate in massively multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPGs, such as World of Warcraft.
