y bttr gt yr sht rght
i've been proactively looking at the new 2.0 stuff (can someone please come up with better marketing terms than "2"?), i dunno, "web next", oh, that's a dead computer. sorry. "next in the pile" "next in line" "next in the queue" "next to die"?
anyway, it's like going through demos. there is interesting shiiit out there. that tumblr.com thing i posted yesterday (http://minoruuuu.tumblr.com/), it's good, i've finally found something that fits someone with an attention-deficit-disorder (add). or "i can't sit down and wait for people bebacuse i have a big ego problem" like me. it's not fast enough yet, but it's miles better than the current delicious or other social bookmarking sites. then i found something else this morning, which might be better from an overall perspective.
it's that fast. and to think, kids will be used to this stuff.
but, i think one should allow data import and export as a prerequisite really. i mean, i got TONS of shit. i am bookmark king amongst my berry narrow circle of frenz, i ain't going to import and export that sheeet manually now, no f-way.
i guess the internetz is finally becoming what people were talking it was going to be in the late 90s. it doesn't have the same "holy fuck" sensation it gave me when i first exchanged an onine chat with a person i know in 94 (thanks zak), but it's a different and pleasurable sensation. at least i don't have to spend $500 a month on phone bills (yes, i did that for the first 3 months of being online and don't ask me about how much i paid my isp, they were charging by the minute....... no, only a bit of it was porn, most of it was chats and stuff like the residents website, mondo2000, etc, remember that?).
myspace is lame, i can't do shit with this blog when i want to split, so i am x2 posting elsewhere and i can control that other half. same as the DRM debate.
facebook is a bit stiff. it's a different thing that you can't really compare to myspace. but the apps are nice, though again, it's like the "listen to my demo" scene, too much sheeeet.

MySpace to follow rival’s lead

MySpace is likely to change its technology strategy to allow other online companies to “plug” their web services directly into its social networking site, according to Chris DeWolfe, one of its founders.
The move would mark a new step in the evolution of social networks into fully fledged internet platforms, while opening a new front in the battle for audience share among the web’s fastest-growing companies.
The expected change in approach is a reaction to the success of rival Facebook, which last month unveiled a similar step to open its network to outside developers. Although it has less than half as many users as MySpace in the US, Facebook’s approach has won it strong backing from other consumer internet companies, which hope it will give them an easier way to reach the network’s 27m members.
