A couple more articles:
- An interesting NYTimes article that challenges assumptions on technology and gender: More girls than boys are generating Internet content, according to "Sorry, Boys, This is Our Domain."
- A story about an experimental online persuasive writing course taught to 5th and 6th graders, in "Experimental Online Writing Course Is Elementary"

I read this article when I was in the Writing Center, Dr. Hollrah wasn't aware of it until I let her know. She remembered talking to the reporter, and was interested in what quotes he used.
I thought this article was interesting, though it doesn't really go into more than abbreviations . There's a whole new vocabulary developing on the internet, I see it leak into real life occasionally.
This type of lingo is pretty common on MMORPG (Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Games), I have to admit, I found it somewhat annoying at first, but I'm pretty used to it now. Abbreviations and acronyms are the norm in games such as World of Warcraft. I also see a lot of this on Myspace comments.
