Last week must have been "Social Networks Week" at the Wall Street Journal with a front-page article about Facebook prices in the $1B range (assuming Mark Zuckerberg frees himself up to attend the meetings), an inside article about social networks and campaign 2006, a bit on book swapping sites, another one about "the Facebook frenzy", one about social network-based travel sites and even article about "fashion" in Second Life.
It is a sign of the resurgence of "community," not to mention just plain more fun, to see these topics covered by the Journal.
