Quote of the Morning

[hummingwolf]

From a TechCrunch piece entitled "Can Anything Stop The Facebook Juggernaut?":

As usual, William Gibson put it best: “Facebook feels like a mall. Twitter feels like the street.” (Which I suppose makes Zynga the mall’s arcade.) It’s one thing to shop there occasionally, but quite another to be a full-fledged mallrat—and according to the stats, that’s what we have collectively become. I want to believe that eventually we’ll wake up, and grow up, and realize that new and interesting things mostly happen elsewhere.

And so, I speculate hopefully: what if Facebook is the new LiveJournal?

You might not remember LiveJournal, a now-moribund social-blogging site...

It is amusing to read that LJ is dead or just inhabited by the Russians. I guess I'd just as soon be a bit under the cultural radar, frankly. This is the best follow-up to print sf-fandom I have found.

I've never been involved in print fandom, but sometimes I still miss Usenet.
