Insight, "StumbleUpon: Tripping Thumbs"

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

StumbleUpon: Tripping Thumbs

up

the thumbs of likes and dislikes central to the stumbleupon experience allow one to trip around the internet, the feeling captured within this work, and too evoked in the real world by the travails of stumbleupon

down

for some time stumbleupon appeared to me a ship without a port, aimlessly, listlessly, floating around … made all the more worse and evident when their purchaser, ebay, in 2008, sought, after years of neglect, to get rid of it

Classic, "StumbleUpon: Tripping Thumbs"

Inevitable stumble leads to stumble more From stumble to stumble random and new A tangled web in motion, blinking Upon such a sea of flash movie boats Upon among sales and other frank thoughts Upon and along with the mish and with mash Stumbles compelled by those who do Upon folks curious and much spare time too

originally conceived September 19, 2008

Tripping Thumbs

Inevitable stumble leads to stumble more
From stumble to stumble random and new
A tangled web in motion, blinking
Upon such a sea of flash movie boats
Upon among sales and other frank thoughts
Upon and along with the mish and with mash
Stumbles compelled by those who do
Upon folks curious and much spare time too
