This article sounds like every other article i have heard on the subject. that the networks are only to serve as a tool, that tool helps you to access the greater part of your network and your extended social network is more in reach. It shined some light on the history of what is now myspace and facebook, there was a site called 6 degree's of seperation that was too far ahead of its time. Harping on the same angle of what is related to facebook, myspace and social networks, that even me a person who lived under a rock for 22 years now gets the picture this article brought nothing (apart of the history which i liked a lot) new into what i understand. History as this article hints to will be altered because of these social networks, a new way of a collective group to bring together an idea thousands of miles away, the way history is wrote changes now.
