DISQUS

Wow - that's beautiful.

The Rev. Pfleger interview was great. He didn't get trapped into the reporter's framing. (You'll notice the reporter went from "Rev. Wright's comments have been *called* anti-American," etc., to "Why would that kind of message be appropriate in your church?")

Good for the parents. Here's hoping for a larger ideological turnaround.

Yep,it's a tool - and there are a myriad of ways to use these tools, many of them untapped. There's too much of a focus ont he Internet on using a tool because it's the "next big thing," and not because it's actually useful.

Well said.

Just found your blog and am loving it. My wife and I experienced a hellish 2007, exacerbated by my own personal problems. Now our marriage couldn't be better. Well, maybe it could - I'll keep reading to find out! :)

I simply see it as the downside of such services being cheap and easy to build. It's a good thing, in the long run: the competition will eventually subside, and we'll be left with the best of breed. That's already happened among social networking sites, with a small number of sites dominating (MySpace, Facebook), and a few others filling niche needs (like Gaia/Zaadz).

Myself, I use three apps: Google Reader, Facebook, and Twitter. Anything else is a colossal time suck. When Internet apps stop making my work in this world useful, and instead BECOME my work, then I know it's time to pull back on the techno-horse.
