BTW John Walker needs to catch up on the last 30-40 years of theorising about the decentralised self -- also David Hume, William James!

How can you not be a node since as soon as you are aknowledged in some way by a node that in turn makes you a node, doesn't it? Can you give an example?

I really liked your post. Finally!, a reasonable speech about the simplistic and naive point of view on the role of social networks in the so called "revolutions" in northern Africa. Even when communication experts like Manuel Castells have yet appointed social networking (especially after the 15th May movement here in Spain) as key for igniting pro-democratic movements it would turn out to be a very short-sightened analysis of deeper questions like in the first place, what do the arab people first seek, what do mean when we speak of democracy and third and even more important, a materialistic approach to the global geo-strategic situation in which the unbalances and diorders of capitalism are in the center of the problem and not a tecnological issue (which is determined by the latter). Adorno and Horkeimer already reminded us that technology and technological development is the aliby for dominant classes to legitimate their influence and social control. I would like to ask you if I could translate (to spanish) and post your article in my blog. It's an issue (digital divide, nodocentrism etc.) which im really interested in as a media studies student.
