Deleuze and Guattari talk about how the internet is like a rhizome...with big roots reaching out into other places connecting with other plants...in which these "plants" are other websites.  Facebook is a website that comes to mind where there are several websites where you can read an article and at the bottom there's a little "f" icon for facebook (among other sites listed) where you can post to your facebook page for other people to read, or even see a video as in the site Youtube.  I have seen quite a few videos my facebook friends have posted which they got directly from the Youtube website.

Then there's eBay...you can even post what you're selling on eBay to your facebook page.  I guess all of this kind of goes along with how the internet is rapidly becoming intertwined with so many other websites...as in so many sites these days are connected in some way or another, in some sort of "network".  It's amazing how sometimes you could be searching for one thing and then end up in a whole other area not even relating to what you were originally searching for.
