Abstract

This paper discusses the culture of links active in the internet with the exchange practices between weblogs, personal sites and discussion lists among others. A network communication which, albeit the possibilities provided by the technological device, is restrained to connection activities in detriment of conjunction and collectiveness, thus producing a self-centered, passive and confrontationless culture.
