      I don't know that I'd call it "evolution," though, as none of the previous formats have gone away. it's more like they're parallel channels.

      i see what you're saying for sure. but evolution doesn't necessarily to replace things. now if you'll excuse me, i have to go take bubbles the chimp for a walk

      I agree these are not mutually exclusive, therefore they are more parallel rather than linear. There is a linear aspect, however. What about blogs and flickr? I'd add a category for asynchronous text messaging too! AIM is already taken as an acknowledged acronym, so I'm not sure what a good abbreviation would be....
