"We don't have any pre-web baseline info here. I'm sure Boomers and GenXers remember being goaded into doing something with "Oh, C'mon, at least it'll make a great story." I'm not a fan of perpetuating this illusion that social tech elicits new behaviors. We are human, our behaviors are human, we are simply using new tools. We have ALWAYS done things for the sole reason of telling someone else after, or making someone else do it too, etc. etc."
