It has found a confidence in itself, bolstered by the ever growing numbers, topics and opinions. The question is, where can the journalist fit into all of this?

Bebo will be / is the tipping point for getting teens to learn about the internet. Suddenly the "wouldn't know if a computer hit them in the face as they're perpetually partying" crew have got themselves an online presence... and learnt how to upload images, learnt that uploading smaller files are quicker, learnt what the back button is, learnt what bookmarks are, learnt how to go direct to a URL (you can't find people other than through friend lists otherwise). It's actually a huge thing that will only show its head when Bebo dies, and the masses move on to the real world and setup the likes of LinkedIn profiles or publish their CV online, or heaven forbid, take a step up and keep a blog.

I'm currently talking to three US based companies about job offers they have made. I have told them I am unavailable until mid-June because my wife is expecting and due this coming Monday (May 22nd). No Irish companies offered me a full-time job (although one did offer me freelance work). Piaras - thanks for the mentions!
