Our Conclusions:

There were a bunch of wide randing discussions about what the popularity of media like Facebook and Myspace actually meant and whether there was still room for growth of theses of if a high water mark had been reached.

There was also a wide ranging discuss of what constituted the media. Current day tech allows any memeber of the public to become part of the media. With a simple Blog, anyone can self-publish.
