Summary
In the year 2000, Yahoo's computer system was attacked by a fifteen year old boy, the MafiaBoy. Instead of serving customers flocking the Internet search engine, the computers in Yahoo's headquarters of Santa Clara was busy responding to the message "Yes, I heard you " sent by scripted computer language. Two thousand years ago from the MafiaBoy, Paul was using theology and social networks effectively to spread the Christianity to the world. There is one common thing in the two seemingly different men: they were "masters of the network." MafiaBoy took over the network of computers and Paul utilized the social and religious links of that time. They were successful because we live in a world of interrelatedness.
Personal Reaction
It is interesting to compare MafiaBoy and Paul even though one is a destroyer and the other is a builder. MafiaBoy became the master of the network taking only one day, whereas Paul accomplished the network taking his whole life.

YOur summary had a very indepth explanation about the Mafiaboy, and thus will also be easily understood by people who havent read the article.
I also thought it was interesting how you made a comparison between Paul and mafiaboy by how long it took them to deliver the messege.
Takako, a very adequate summary indeed. Do always try to balance it with sufficient reaction. I wonder if the different length of their actions is also related to the quality of the message. Is a deep message likely to spread more gradually than one with more instant, popular appeal?
