    Excellent article on cyberbullying and an example of a girl who was harrassed online and killed herself. This sort of thing is tragic and we should consider what we think aboutinternet harrassment penalties, particularly against children. There are mention of several websites including one I'd never heard of called CyberBully Alert.

    Smarr is one of the people who can legitimately claim the benefit of foresight. He is one of the internet's architects, one of the academics who connected their universities using slow, slow dial-up modem links, just to see what would happen next. He has seen this communication highway grow, and is still at the forefront of research as he explores what he calls "ultra-broadband", asking the question: what will cyberspace look like when it is 10,000 times its current speed?
