Lots like link,
A bit start more.

Tise — Exper,
Cation — Edu,
Mation — Infor,

Combined form,
Retained thought,
Shared understanding,

At the bit’s core,
Know’s knol now.

Around, around,
I twhirl, twhirl, twhirl,
Changes keep coming,
I hop and I dance and spring,
Between one and another,
To another more,

I twhirl around, twhirl around,
Happily hoping to keep pace,
Reaching out to my friends,
On Twitter, on seesmic,
On Friendfeed and —
All around twisting,

Twisting, twisting, twisting,
Changing and upgrading,
Faster the images and pictures and comments,
All zipping and whooshing by,
My happy little fingers flitting,
Round and round,

Twhirlling and whirling,
Excitedly chatting and sharing and seeing,
Straining to listen, now identi.ca,
Soon new UI,
Blurring is the whirling,
The twhirl, twhirl, twhirl twhirling.

With tunes to hear
Searched from far and near
Simple click-add-play, click-stop
Defended, and guided, by a turtle with mohawk

My librarian,
Yes, all’s mine,
Sitting over there,
Reading, definitely wise.

My librarian,
Who helps me,
Finding — I need found,
Showing, just what I seek.

My librarian,
A wave – I shout “Yahoo!
Hearkens to days of past,
Organized, structured too.

My librarian,
Clearly, new around here,
Finding and sharing each,
Dulcinea, my sweet love, I beg, I do beseech.

Google’s Lively…

Ecstatic you might say — or they, ok?
People’s avatars wandering
Randomly and every which way

A loosely coupled — styles and sizes, shaped-colored
With rooms big and small
Things-stuff-more all being sampled

Where many people have come to play — kick-hug-kiss-buddy
Who and what and why and to what end
We wait, and we drag and chat and say

Google’s Lively lively — bubbling, percolating activity
Just to what success will they have
And to what exact degree?

The rockets and lights of the 4th they are still
  ziiiip
Lingering full of family fun, memories
  wooosh
Cool, sexy parties, a pre-show, an opener,
  pop
Many can see and do say
  whirl
To a greater, bigger, hotter
  zoom
Excitinger glitter-boom-boom
  floosh
The iPhone releases 3G
  bang
On 7.11, today, the day, it is
  wrooo
The lines all ready, fans many
  brrrooom
Fans waiting, sweating the heat
  fwadoom
Now getting the latest
  gazoom
Incarnation, iteration, woh! inspiration
  arroooom
Excitement exploding
  boom
On this most exciting,
  Boom
Friday, July day!
  BOOM

So here I am head down, working hard
Fingers flying, time passing with no regard
Saving typing, typing saving – quicker
With draft completed, mind starting to flicker

A walk, brief, refreshing, not long, is called for
To clear the mind, stretch the legs, helps me do more

Then back, sitting to make from Draft to Final
I click to load my Google Doc … But to no avail!
For minute by 10 to hour more again
All I can see is Server Error from 9am to 10
Was always cautious about online services
But, hey it was Google, they’re greatestest
If they can mess up, be crashed all the way down
What can we hope for all the others around
Definitely cannot count on the web2.0’s online
Now on, maybe forever, I’ll use paper and pen, just fine.

Passing my life. Time
Blurred by. Gone
The details art. Full
Experiences sung. When
Shared, laughed to. Night
At PC became day. Spring
Video and next. Ended
Journey of me and you. Tube
Down a gone. I
History protected done. Key
To my is mine. Us
Less ‘OK’ to they is not. Thing
Is wait I stop. Age
To protected when. Did
Do what when via. Come
Now know soon.
