How have Blogs, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, etc. change chess? Is it for the better or worse?
I think social media has contributed to the interaction of chess players. Here in Brazil, for example, with 200 million people, the internet greatly helps in communication and exchange of experiences. Mainly to know what is happening throughout Brazil (9372.614 km ² extension, almost European continent!), who’s playing, what’s new. Surely in general, the social medias collaborate to the interaction of players worldwide and also so we can learn more about our idols who turn to twitter and facebook to describe a little of their lives and championships.
