Based on my Tripod experience, Id offer the hypothesis that any sufficiently advanced read/write technology will get used for two purposes: pornography and activism. Porn is a weak test for the success of participatory media its like tapping a mike and asking, Is it on? If youre not getting porn in your system, it doesnt work. Activism is a stronger test if activists are using your tools, its a pretty good indication that your tools are useful and usable.
