Data and Counterparts.

Today I signed up for Twitter and Blip.fm, two Web 2.0 sites you might have heard of.

Really I'm not constructed for character limits and rounded edges and whatever, but it looks fun and maybe I could find something out about myself.

You know what. I miss whatever came first on the internet more than I'm excited for what's coming next. The leap from no internet to email and websites was much more exciting than the leap to superfast connections and colorful graphics and instant content is and will be.

Now I check my email to see if I have a Facebook message which has supplanted email as some fucked up de facto online communication medium. Information gets repeated to the point of ludicrous redundancy and really I don't mind for the sake of the work but for the information everywhere it gets in my teeth and on my clothes and it frustrates me.

I'm acting and talking as if the internet has something to teach me about my life and all life. Does it? I mean, it very well could. I don't know.

I really really believe there's a message in all of this and I'm trying to figure out what it is.

The message you were searching for is that we're ALL Web 2.0
