The World Wide Web is turning from a network of machines into a network of human beings:

• The human being is at the centre.
• The user doesn’t simply surf through the net anymore but he modifies and adds to it.
• He writes a web-diary.
• He displays his photographs on exchange sites.
• He puts his knowledge at disposal in online-encyclopaedias.
• He recommends his bookmarks to other users.
• The internet is changing from a network of computers and servers into a network of the people.
• In social networks users are being linked to each other.

In the blog of suedtirol-reisen.com (one of the few anyway and at the same time one of the most interesting in the land of apples and wine) in an article dated 23rd April 2007 some tourism portals are introduced which “concentrate on the most essential information while offering at the same time further information on holidays in South Tyrol”.

On Moansch.net (in terms of blog-rating absolutely to be listed among those indicated in the brackets above) the same subject has been dealt with at around the same time, another list is being delivered there.

If Mr Peer will be as kind as not to concentrate too much on his own portals while writing at the same time that it “can in any case be … quite interesting to further add to the list and update it”, we do justifiably enough hope that also our portal will be honoured some time.

The same is true for Herbert’s blog, of course.
