I think it is fun and it is a wonderful tool. There has been a lot of talk lately about Web 2.0. This usually refers to user-generated content, social networking, blogs, RSS feeds etc. These are all wonderful tools for people who Web a lot. </p> <p>Here is my suspicion, though — and I am willing to go way out on a limb here. I think there is a huge bubble happening right now in Web 2.0 content that will burst within five years or sooner. While it is a wonderful thing to connect with other people halfway around the globe and find like interests everywhere. I believe that people will suddenly realize, to their intense pleasure, that it is much better to connect face to face with someone who is in the same room, same house, same town as you than it is to connect with someone on the other side of the world through the often-wonky technology.</p> <p>I am curious to find out how many of our readers are doing these kinds of things, so, I would like to do a little survey to find out where the KnitNet readers are in terms of Web 2.0</p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width = 560> <tr><td><form action="/cgi-bin/knitsurv.cgi" method="post">Do you have a blog?</td><td align = right>yes<input type="radio" name="q1" value="yes" ></td><td align = right>no<input type="radio" name="q1" value="no"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q1" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you read blogs?</td><td align = right>often<input type="radio" name="q2" value="often" ></td><td align = right>seldom<input type="radio" name="q2" value="seldom"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q2" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you post on blogs?</td><td align = right>often<input type="radio" name="q3" value="often" ></td><td align = right>seldom<input type="radio" name="q3" value="seldom"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q3" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you use forums and chat groups?</td><td align = right>often<input type="radio" name="q4" value="often" ></td><td align = right>seldom<input type="radio" name="q4" value="seldom"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q4" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you subscribe to RSS feeds</td><td align = right>yes<input type="radio" name="q5" value="yes" ></td><td align = right>no<input type="radio" name="q5" value="no"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q5" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you have a Facebook page?</td><td align = right>yes<input type="radio" name="q6" value="yes" ></td><td align = right>no<input type="radio" name="q6" value="no"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q6" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you belong to Ravellry?</td><td align = right>yes<input type="radio" name="q7" value="yes" ></td><td align = right>no<input type="radio" name="q7" value="no"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q7" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you have a MySpace page?</td><td align = right>yes<input type="radio" name="q8" value="yes" ></td><td align = right>no<input type="radio" name="q8" value="no"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q8" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you have a Second Life?</td><td align = right>yes<input type="radio" name="q9" value="yes" ></td><td align = right>no<input type="radio" name="q9" value="no"></td><td align = right>Do I need one?<input type="radio" name="q9" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you use Digg?</td><td align = right>often<input type="radio" name="q10" value="often" ></td><td align = right>seldom<input type="radio" name="q10" value="seldom"></td><td align = right>What is this?<input type="radio" name="q10" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you read other online knitting magazines?</td><td align = right>often<input type="radio" name="q11" value="often" ></td><td align = right>seldom<input type="radio" name="q11" value="seldom"></td><td align = right>Are there any?<input type="radio" name="q11" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td>Do you read printed knitting magazines?</td><td align = right>often<input type="radio" name="q12" value="often" ></td><td align = right>seldom<input type="radio" name="q12" value="seldom"></td><td align = right>Are there any?<input type="radio" name="q12" value="No idea"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=4>Comments?<br><textarea cols="60" rows="5" name="comments"></textarea></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align = "right"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Survey"></td><td colspan="2"><input type="Reset"></form></td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan = "2"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan = "2"> <p>If you have any comments, you can also — <a href="mailto:publisher@knitnet.com?Subject=Masthead">email me</a>!
