When studying journalism and media (especially the electronic kind) as a student I have often heard, and accepted, that we still have no real idea of what the Internet is capable of, or the true role it has or will have in society.

As a ‘new’ medium, despite being rapidly diffused, it is seen by most experts as being some way from reaching its potential. So, do you think this idea of Web 2.0 as the democratic web – a receiver-driven, multi-purpose, multi-platform media produced by and for its users – is something closer to what the Internet is going to be, or perhaps even what is supposed to be?

Off the top of my head, I think the Wikipedia stat came from their site and the 1% of bloggers is from a report previously cited on the blog. I’ve just got back from a holiday and I don’t have my notes to hand.

“Immense minority” is a really good description of the contributors to what I call the democratic web. Nice phrase too.

Thanks for commenting.

I would like to know the sources of the statistics (1.8% wikipedia users create two thirds of content, 1% of bloggers post original content). It’s very interesting, and I would like to translate into Spanish some of your points.

Octavio Paz, a mexican essayist and poet, said that the ones who create culture are those who belong to the “immense minority”. Do you agree with that?
