I particularly like the article on

BEWARE THE ONLINE COLLECTIVE

http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/lanier06/lanier06.2_index.html

"What's to stop an online mass of anonymous but connected people from suddenly turning into a mean mob, just like masses of people have time and time again in the history of every human culture? It's amazing that details in the design of online software can bring out such varied potentials in human behavior. It's time to think about that power on a moral basis."
