The above assumptions has given rise to a tendency for CMC scholarship to follow in the wake
of the latest popular technologies, in an attempt to get descriptive fix on their affordances and
emergent cultures of use. Consider the rapid popularization of blogging, for example, and the
scholarly attention that it is presently attracting. (Conversely, how many scholars are
researching MOOs anymore?) Yet, although this technology driven agenda may seem justified,
it suffers from a systematic bias: it overestimates the novelty of much CMC, and
underestimates the effects of social forces such as mass popularization, according to which
mundane uses of technologies tend to co-opt their destabilizing potentials over time. Brown
(2000) flagged this process with respect to the commercialization of women’s content on the
World Wide Web several years ago. Could it be that the CMC of chat rooms, web boards, text
messaging on mobile phones, blogs, and such like is also on its way to becoming mundane and
ordinary? If so, how can this trajectory be reconciled with the perception of seemingly endless
technological innovation?
