The snippet I quoted obscures the fact that Marco is talking about _personal publishing_ first and foremost; to view and interpret it from the perspective of more general "online publishing" is rather interesting.

Question 1.a: Has online personal publishing really been "moving into/onto" proprietary networks at a grand scale (where there are many shades of "moving into/onto", from outright replacement to complementation)?

Semi-related question 1.a.1: Does exposure to Facebook increase or decrease the likelihood of people using "old-school" personal publishing mechanisms (i.e. blogs)? 1.a.2: Vice versa?

Question 1.b: Has online publishing in general been moving into/onto said networks?

Question 2: Do proprietary, centralizing networks/"publishing platforms" receive an outsized amount of attention relative to the rest of the cosmos of overlapping micro (and not-so-micro) publishing fields (OMPFs; I really like the term), considering their "actual importance" (however we would go about measuring that)?

[Mulling over those issues shall continue ...]
