The advent of computer technologies and related web-based communities and hosted services such as social-networking sites (myspace, youtube, facebook, google everything, etc.), wikis, and folksonomies, are rapidly and fundamentally changing our work, our play, our lives. This is especially true in how our oldest information technolgies - "writing" - is being transformed. No longer confined to pen and paper, these technoglogies are redefining the how, the why, and the what of writing.
