Insight, "I Just Started My FriendFeed"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last weekend’s poem…

I Just Started My FriendFeed

There?

there was a time, none too long ago, where people in a twitter-plus environment could easily share, group, and have meaningful conversations, and information aggregations

When?

when it was strong, it was a lively community, very powerful in providing a rich combination of modes of communication and information — as is the emotions this poetic work seeks to evoke

Insight, "Digg: Labored"

Today’s Web Laureate Insight to my latest poem…

Digg: Labored

Out

one of the oldest of the crowdsourced news, digg is currently undergoing a re-do — much needed, most difficult

Out

the title: labored — (1) rebirth (2) strained service – people may already have lost interest; never to return

Digg: Labored

troublesome.
and troubling.
and difficult.
and onerous.

such are those things
that must be dugg
into — that which may
be that wonderful —
next news to share —
and so go vi-ral.

Insight, "Google: malware"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last weekend’s poem…

Google: malware

my

with powers increasing we must all look back to what once was the mistake of erroneously flagged human inflicted error upon many as malware — who / what can check the googley power

my

from the words of growing first part of "mal" on the left, combining with the growing force of "ware" together, can sometimes combine into that perfect storm of malware warnings and alerts — rocking the world and those so (erroneously) branded

btw

the original title of this work was spelled with "malware" with the final ‘e’ being a schwa — but due to the limitations of wordpress I was unable to convey this element

Classic, "Google: malware"

mistakes do happen
made all the time
malevolent and benign

note, when things look askew
perhaps an ‘e’ turns schwa
patience, pause the flamewar
check both hard- and soft-ware

for it all may and seems to be
an error by humans
in length, digits three
‘?/?’ was all it took
accidentally entered
MALWARE — the world shook

Insight, "Tumblr Around"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Tumblr Around

quick…

very common on tumblr for people to re-blog one another; often creating circles of circles of content — every two consecutive words (as well from last to first) link up to form a unique and logically correct and applicable phrase — a circlular poem

…quick

the simplicity of the poem, mirroring the simplicity of the website, typically a quick quote or picture, nothing long…. simply circular
