The One Page

I feel like I have too many internet sites to log into and update -- Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blogger, Gmail, etc. There needs to be some sort of merged site with all these features -- I think Facebook is trying to achieve that, but who knows how long that one will be viable. Will we just become internet nomads, roaming from social networking site to social networking site, as popularity rates rise and fall? Is any of this productive or just useless chatter, filling up space in the void and really going nowhere?

If I'm going to be an internet gypsy, I'm going to do it Stevie Nicks-style -- leaving draped shawls and dove feathers in my wake, ya'll. I'm singing a song that sounds like I'm singing, ooh baby, ooh, I said ooooooh. (Sorry, brief seizure/Edge of Seventeen moment.)

For bookish people, the internet is now a reality, and day by day, more and more of us realize we have to make peace with it and learn to use it. This video from Dennis Cass pretty much sums up how many of us are feeling right now -- I gotta do what? Seriously? Ok, ok. I'll frickin' Twitter, man. I'm going to be all up in yo' Twitter grillz.
