3rd Space

This blog can be seen as a 3rd space because it is readily available to most people. It does have exclusions though to people who may not have computers, who have no access to a public space that offers free internet uses, or people whose libraries may not have the funds for computers. It can come down to economic means of an individual, but I have used computers next to homeless people at the library that were able to get to a computer. The one type of person who cannot access this 3rd space is the illiterate. But that could be going off on a who different tangent.

This 3rd space really builds social capital because these social type of networks have value and actually mean something to the individuals accessing them. We get knowledge of different viewpoints and ideas from the other members of the blog
