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, "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

Insight, "Yahoo: goodb(Y!)e"

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

Yahoo: goodb(Y!)e

Woo

whimsical was once at the heart of the innovation of yahoo — the stuff of red plus blue.

Woo

no longer can the stuff be found — with the layoffs of the past — most likely coming back around.

Classic, "Yahoo: goodb(Y!)e"

there once was a company named yahoo.
a great directory there was for all of you
          but then neglect
          with leadership wrecked
bid 20% of their workforce adieu.

Insight, "Scoble: Action Aggregate"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into Saturday’s poem…

Scoble: Action Aggregate

point

the structure of the poem with ever decreasing number of syllables per line until it reaches 0 — representing, in abstract, the concept of data aggregation leading towards a smiley happiness

light

an important event this work explored — highlighting the disempowerment of users online through the lack of control being enforced over the users, exemplified by the then and continuing lack of portability of content and personal information from the likes of facebook to elsewhere

Classic, "Scoble: Action Aggregate"

On facebook on orkut for business or some fun

       And everyone from friends to all are aware

       That they only can so very much bare

       Unconnected friends unconnecting

       Profiles all around away fading

With to manage — able none

       No simple single way

       Without some horseplay

       To move to

       Many due

To one

       1

      

Dedicated to Robert Scoble —
The means, and Plaxo, not quite noble —
For elevating the conversation
Of social network aggregation,
As well as social network data portability…
For this I, and we, appreciate his popularity.
