Excellent online article by Howard Swains from the new Wired UK Site on how some online tales of death and suffering are fictional - “pseuicides”. Some are contrived to titillate or garner attention, some result from something more serious, and some are the result of a uniquely modern psychiatric disorder known as Munchausen by internet.

When I came to write my study guide - Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and More - I never really envisioned it being offered for sale all over the world (although the concepts comfortably fit global teaching environments and university students or staff members trying to get their head around the world of Web 2.0). It’s therefore been a nice surprise to see it being offered in a variety of different worldwide locations including:
Canada
USA
Japan
France
and Germany
and given me a renewed perspective on the global phenomenon and concepts of web 2.0 from an academic viewpoint. I hope it is internationally of use.
ps not to leave the UK out :
