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

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.

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

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

Apple: Pushing around MobileMe

here

at this time it is fun to recall when it was that people yearned to be pushed about and to — mostly through, at the time, the impending data push service, mobileme

now

when people ask "did you just hang up on me" wondering or whether it’s at&t or the iphone, itself, people, at least some may so proclaim, that the once sought pushing has been quite enough, and even more may be seeking the pushing around of poor old mobile me …. to stop

Web Depression

historically

interestingly the link that inspired it all has been deleted and removed from all existence, no witty quote from jason, nor insight into the impending demise of the internet that was to be

sound

leaving us just one panging question, as has gone the immaculate source of my inspiration, so to has gone the depression of the web?

YouTube & Viacom: Time wasted, Not forgotten

long ago

poem of long ago, a classic one might say. revisiting what was hot back then now appears to be hot again today. a look at all ones experiences being tracked on youtube, being demanded by viacom — some activities of which I am less proud or desirous, more embarassness to share

ago again

had fun with the placement of words, from "…you. Tube" to "…via. Come" to 2 main players in this still ongoing saga

Zigtag: In Need of Tagging Assistant

@End

sometimes it is hard to find just the right words to describe something you poured so march hart into; summarizing with but one or two or few tags

many tools are out there, and one so inspired this work; from its naming reminding me of zig-zag, shaping the structure of it

Within@

as much semantic analysis does in analyzing a document to pull out the core meaning, the core tags, so too does this work have such intentially hidden meaning — with the last letter of each line combines to spell: semantic tagging

private beta

more

there was once a time when there were many and there was a private beta of the week; people trading and hustling to get in. now, while not as frequent as in its hey day — they are still.

less

yet one set of defining characteristics persist — the long wait — seasons go by, chores get more done, memory fades, hair ages and grays … all while waiting to get into that next private beta

Second Life: Away Online — LOST

oN

with the weather grander it makes a great many wonder what could make people gather away online; away from the fresh air and warming sun — an isolated existence, virtually strong relationships being established in increasing number

oFF

such is the dillema of in or outside, on or offline — lonely is as lonely does — and more lonely so the numbered of Second Life
