Novacon 39's guest of honour, Justina Robson, advocated that social networking and blogs be consigned to room 101. So that's it for this post and the George Lite Zone.
Justin's a fan and a really nice lady, her adding social networking had more to do with her dislike of the total information overload that it brings. People adding you as a friend when they only met you once and then pontificating about every aspect of life you'd care to mention, or not. Personally I think that the good that web 2 has brought the world far outweighs the bad. But it has got its downside too.

I'll give up now shall I?
Ah well, that's professional writers for you, innit? Want writing to be a closed shop, and not for mere dabblers such as bloggers. Tough.
