Weaving the Lazy Web

An article on WebUser.co.uk reports that most internet users are [leaches]—they don't participate. So what does this mean for largely participatory media? I don't know. What I do know is that the tools are there, and freely accessible to create and participate and so on and so forth. I'd like to see statistics on the effects levels of accesibility (of creative and publishing tools, as well as social software) has on the levels of participation. Statistics like those spewed forth in this article mean nothing. They are given no context, just branded the negative—diminishing the validity of accessible media and the products thereof.
