A fleeting glimpse of my thoughts

Welcome to my mind. Remember to check reality at the door. Grammar police see yourself out.

2010 . 05 . 07 : From time to time people ask me if I'm on MySpace and tell me I should check their page out. Sadly I quickly grew a bias to MySpace the first few times I visited it many years back. I watched the rise & fall of various AngelFire, GeoCities and AOL Hometown websites over the years and none of them were as sickening as looking at the shitstorm of flickering-animated-gif, autoplaying-blasting-music and random crap plaguing most MySpace pages. I recently started using Twitter and must say that it's the only "Social Networking" site that's not been a dissapointment. People seem to use it to actually communicate and not stick their Farmville or other meaningless shit in my face. Facebook you lose. Hopefully Twitter will keep their platform fairly locked up from the scourge of frivolous wasted bits though I can already see the next Farmville build wanting to know if it can post tweets via the Twitter API about your recently found pig if it's not already.
