IMO, questions 1 and 2 are pretty much the same. I personally don't think the web is a categorically different type of culture, but I've run into a lot of debate with that angle before. Regarding number 3, hard to ignore http://icanhascheezburger.com/ ;) Not to thread hijack, but just to throw this out there: http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal-attacking-noise-in... I found that entry fascinating, and I think the implications of this curious innovation are quite valuable to a discussion on "web culture." Hall, Richard H. wrote:
