a brief rant from the land of bored cubemonkeys.

[katster]

The big problem with Web 2.0, from where I stand, is that many of these sites are more fun when your friends are on them too. Most of my friends seem to be allergic to Web 2.0.

This would explain part of the reason I am bloody well furious at Six Apart, because they bought the one community that my friends *did* care to hang out on and WRECKED it.

...this is just a rant from the extremely bored katster. You can go your own way.

Wrecked it?

And what the heck is Web 2.0?

Anyway, the problem with working from home is that the guy who pays the dime still owns your time, more or less.

Enh, it's just...between all the fiascos that 6A did (including selling the place to SUP), a lot of the #spork gang has sworn off the place once and for all.

It means that I'm just being whiny today, really.

Web 2.0 is the whole interactive/collaboration thing, snarkily defined by heavy use of AJAX and pastels. I'm using it in a broad sense. (Ah here, have the Wikipedia definition. It works.)

And yeah, I know, it wasn't you I was whining at. I'm just being whiny today.

LJ doesn't seem to be that bad. Sure, there's the histrionic crowd going ONOEZ SKY IS FALLING whenever something changes in the slightest, but people of that type tend to find their own unhappiness wherever they possibly can. l2suckitupandadapt, imo.

It's just like you tell kids when they move. You'll make new friends. If they won't frequent $trendy_social_networking_site_du_jour, take the opportunity to find people there, or re-evaluate whether it's actually that important to you.
