Are you sure it has to do with linear? I mean, I'm not linear and I don't like MySpace or (for the most part) IM's. It isn't the interruption factor so much as the general lack of depth factor. It is a very superficial (and while visually it may not be linear, the actual content found therein usually allows for almost no type of associative connections thought wise. Very flat, linear speech used in a non-linear space, if that makes any sense). I find the communication there to be the net equivalent of "how are you doing" (the social convention, not actual inquiry). As such it is senseless and pointless.
Don't know about DailyKos. Never went there. First heard about the site by seeing some of the stuff Markos had to say elsewhere and that was enough to keep me away.
