The Death Of The Weekend

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

I was trackbacked by since1968, who points out that the Orkut mushroom cloud indicates a lot about Internet society:

"There are so many things to ponder with the rise of orkut (the death of the weekend, viral marketing, the pace at which language changes, etc.) but don't bother: why do I feel like we've been here before? Is this anything more than a high school clique driven by some clever technology and piggybacking on a resurgence of late-90s internet froth?

Maybe it's just sour grapes: I still haven't been invited to join."

Yes, the whole space is bubblicious, but don't let that fool you. There is real meat to social capital, and we are determined to get there.
