"Taste Tribes"

Joshua Ellis has a great article over on MindJack entitled "Taste Tribes" that discusses the way in which we influenced by and in turn influence those around us, concentrating specifically on the effect that the Internet has had upon the formation of these so-called "taste tribes:" little groups of people who share common likes/dislikes, and tell others about them. It's a long read (like the previous sentence), but good through to the end (okay, maybe not). Check it out.
