Herein lies the beauty behind the concept of the whole web 2.0, UGC, Social Media movement. It has all been designed so that even the self confessed technophobe can sign up and get going straight away without really knowing the “significance” of what they are doing.

This ease of access is key to accepting the technology but the fear is that we will become so overwhelmed with social media and networking sites, user generated content, meaningless filtering and mashups for the sake of mashups that the whole thing then becomes counter productive (but that’s another issue that I’m planning a post on).
