- c01and c03 Generationc01, what do they have in
- common? Articles and charts and
- messages, ok. Still, there is
- something else. Some steps of change.

- Since the 23rd of July 1996, mails
- like this one pop up in the e-mail
- accounts from all the main-editors of
- the big mags. The very moment that I
- am writing this article,c03 ACBSc01 in Italy
- may just add another online-votesheet
- to his list. Another one to near the
- magic 250 barrier. Every day a new
- one, two more, three added to the
- impressve list of new votesheets. All
- of them real on-line votes, directly
- from the following homepage:
-
- c04 http://www.york.ac.uk/~mdm101/soc/
-
- c01For the first time ever, Sceners from
- all nations are enabled to give their
- favourite releases, groups and
- individual Sceners on-line not only
- for one particular chart, but for
- many. In the case of Generation,
- Sceners are even able to fill out our
- f4Opinion Pollf1 Sheet (compare the
- corresponding article in this very
- issue).
-
- c03Psionic c03 of c01Steps of Changesc03 is the
- inventor of this unique concept and he
- is very eager to spread the idea: 'I
- am going to email (the introductiory
- text) to all the people on Lords
- email-directory,' the noble englishman
- explains his plans and as far as I
- know, he already succeeded in mailing
- his words to all the approximately 675
- adresses. And people still keep on
- telling me, idealism has vanished...
- He also hopes to add even more
- magazines. Favourably 'f4The Official
- Eurocharts as they are coming back.f1'
- Concerning the recent situation of the
- diskmag Scene these days, he believes
- in a future: 'f4The diskmag Scene seems
- to be picking up apart from c03 RAW
- c01dieing, but the return of c03The Official
- Eurochartsc01.f1'
-
- The only criticism one could possibly
- express may be that all mags from now
- on may feature the same voters if,
- thus ending in normed charts all alike
- in every chart. Still, would this not
- be the main idea behind charts? To
- give an overall close-up from what is
- fashionable for the moment, that is.
- In the end, this is fictious anyway
- for all the Sceners not being in the
- possession of modems. The job of
- votecollectors surely is not
- endangered for the next years to come.
- Psionics vision is a chance to see
- what modern communication methods -
- like interactive homepages - can
- provide for the Scene.
-
-
-
- c02 WHAT IS POSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT
-
- c01At the moment, his visionary homepage
- provides the following possibilities,
- recently being added:
-
- c02- c01A voting form, where one can vote
- online forc03 Showtimec01,c03 Generationc01,c03 the
- UKchartsc01,c03 Subculture Charts c01 and the
- c03 Deadlock chartsc01.
-
- c02- c01A message area, where you can leave
- fresh messages for your contacts,
- announcements, your news and adverts
- these are instantly updated as soon
- as you leave the message.
-
- c02-c01 A comprehensive links section
-
- c02-c01 A chat room, where you can chat to
- other sceners.
-
- c01Still,c03 Psionic c01seemingly is not at the
- end of his possibilities. Although
- asking for fresh ideas to improve his
- invention, new plans are already
- staked out: 'f4I got a another internet
- account, which means I can have
- unlimited web space. Maybe I should
- do a massive gallery or something!f1' he
- smiles.
